What do you think I should be running at 6 or 7 lbs of boost on a 8:1 static 454 with aluminum heads? I didn't see any performance gains going to up 2 degrees so I figured less was safer...

Thank you for the post! Why did you add the two stage pumps? Not enough volume to cool the boat?
When I built my intercoolers I put 2 #12 lines that just dump water out the side of the boat , I could never get anyone to tell me if the stock type pump would handle it so I thought it would be safer with a 2 stage pump
