Increase water pressure

Went through this last year. You need to restrict it at the dumps. Take your manifold dumps weld them up and drill a small hole in them they only need to bleed off air anyway. Do the same to your engine dumps start out about half the size they are now, then you can work your way up until you get your desired pressure. Unless you know someone with a lathe then they could make some reducers.

Everything stays around normal, water temp around 140-160 and oil around 160-180 push to 190 ....I was taking to Doug about a drive question and he said dont worry so much about the pressure as flow

Before I put in a seperate pickup for the intercoolers I was going to use a 12v shut off valve. close it at idle , open it when on plane .

As I have mentioned in other threads. I have 3D printed restrictors for my -AN hose for my manifold dumps and crossover bypass. This is also how I control pressure, I just keep up-sizing the diameter until I'm happy with flow and pressure.What size and how many would you like?

While flow is very important remember to keep enough pressure to keep air pockets from forming.
