Does Alpha Drive have enough water pressure?
 

Does and Alpha Drive put out enough water pressure to not need a curculating water pump and use a crossover system??
It is a tough crew over in the drives area so I will just try posting it here.:D

I've ran my Gen 1 Alpha w/o the circulating pump since 92. Current engine is a 400hp 355 SBC and I spin it 5700rpms to 73gps. I use to have a 355 solid roller that spun 6500rpms. I've never had a problem cooling the motor just off what the water pump in the Alpha shoots out. Hottest it gets even at idle is 155*. When cruising or WOT it runs 140-150*.

The Gen 2 water pump and impeller seems to be an even better design over my Gen 1. I don't forsee any problems unless you are making BIG Hp, and in that case the Alpha will more than likely grenade before you run into cooling problems. HTH

Thanks for the info.

Crossover with or without bypass????
 

What application do you want the bypass on the crossover?? I was looking on Tricks site that they sell both kind of kits.
