Default Block Pressure?

Anyone ever had excessive block pressure with stock Merc cooling set-ups? Circulating pumps and thermostat housings??

The only times I've heard of an issue is when aftermarket exhaust is used. Sometimes the exhaust is restrictive, so the pressure builds.

Dyno, we put a guage on Wade's last summer and found nothing out of the ordinary, around 5 pounds at idle with 15-17 at wot. We can check yours if you'd like. I think wade still has the guage.
