I'm with the system limiting flow; however, I also feel aftermarket pumps deal with the restriction far easier that OE. Gotta be the reason so many OE pumps die soon after KC installs, ie additional restriction.

Tested again tonight at 16v on the BAP with the Rule 2000



6.6 gpm


3/4 lines and trunk mount tank. Pretty darn good.


For reference the holy grail of pumps which is the LPE Stewart pump and runs $549 is only flowing 7.7gpm in a ZL1 system.

Hell, maybe that's the way to go. Thanks for the vid btw. Luckily the subzero temps and salt on the road are taking the expediency out of making a plumbing decision.

Flow aside, I changed out my lines which made a big difference. I do not have hard numbers, just the finger test. I went from cool to COLD.

Here is my thread from a while back:

The stock 5/8 non insulated hard lines for the IC are mounted right in front of the engine behind the radiator. These pipes soak up so much heat. Using the insulated rubber lines and getting them out from behind the radiator made a huge difference.
