Hmm i was always told not to run this pump because it would flow to much and not give the water a chance to cool .. But i never had a chance to try it out , Let me know it performs man ...

An yea what you said lol buy a house .. i stopped keeping count cause i was starting to feel depressed lolz

I'm not to worried about the pump. My installer has a 50gph pump on his Saleen iirc. Plus I plan on going with a C&R heat excharger here shortly and it's one big SOB, so this should help out a lot. This is a 20 or 30 gph pump so hopefully it won't be to much.. My installer recommened it since he has one on his car. I'll let you know for sure though :D

As has already been mentioned, but your car, the complete build, the details, ect. are just amazing. Awesome ride and nicely done! I've been following along to see your progress, and am excited about hearing some final numbers once they are in. :beer:

Thanks bro!! I can't wait either.. Hopefully I'll have something by next week. That's the plan for me atleast.. It would be nice for other people to see what the combo makes though. As soon as I know I'll update this thread and post a new one so people can see. ;)

That pump is nice! I too got rid of the stock vortech aftercooler and heat exchanger. They were the only crappy pieces in the setup. I ended up with an ebay aftercooler and used a stock lightning pump. It worked out pretty good but I never had the original vortech stuff in there to compare with. Hopefully I will be dropping my vorteched Cobra off up there next week or the week after for my new motor. Def good times and I cant wait to see what yours puts down!
