some may say -6 is small... its an addition not a main system in fact with this same architecture using say 2 -12an or maybe 2 -10an lines the thermostat might not open to often unless running the engine hard


this is intended for street strip fair weather no heater core, after very stable temps and iam quite sure i will get them
Thats just about my same system, I used 2-10 an, like I said I tired the thermostat deal, tired it with drilling holes. The biggest problem I had was cruising around, and getting stuck in traffic. Thing would go to 220 degrees. It seem ok at first. Tired different thermostats but nothing changed. But once I went to the resticker never had a issue in traffic again. But hey you don’t know until you try it I guess. I also run 15 lb radiator cap. I just think having that Constant circulation from front of the heads as well as coming from the back of the heads makes the difference, I don’t know but thinking coming from the front of the heads and relying on thermostat to open or two small holes might have something to do with it. Not to say running thermostat won’t work for others you never know until you try it.
