I do know that I had a new Sierra pump/impeller on mine, and I switched it to a new Merc one, and gainned 4 lbs of pressure at WOT. There IS a difference there.

I don't like putting the senders in the block because it seems that they can get full of crap there from teh rust etc in the block. Thats why I like them up on the water passage in the intake.

Chris,
If you are interested, I will show you my rigging at PIB this weekend. We bleed off potential steam pockets and monitor the WP from the same set-up at the intake manifold.

My Littlefield blower Intake I plumbed the rear 2 port #12 the front 2 fittings T ing into it and them dumped thru the headers.
I have had 2 dyno shop guys tell me they have seen some HP diff getting the hot water off the rear.
