I heard of people running a bypass hose from the front to back of manifold,will this help?Or should I drill and tap for the stock bypass from pump to manifold?

You mean to the intake right? Ive never tried to run without one. Your intake doesnt have a bypass port in it?

Yes,to the manifold.Now I'm running Hardin Marine manifold and no provision for the by pass hose.I was told I didn't need it.My Gen 5 doesn't have it either and it runs fine.

I think the problem is the bypass but if you give me a call tomorrow Ill give you some other ideas to try, are you running a dry joint between the manifold and riser???? ( solid gasket, no holes )

Yes,and the manifolds are also brand new Revolution Marines.I also just noticed in my picture that the manifold has a tap for the bypass hose,but that manifold is on the gen 5,the gen 4 is on the right.No provision for the bypass on the manifold for the gen 4.I wonder if the manifolds are mixed up?

Those engines look sweat. Could one of your temp gages be off ?
