Holy crap, I knew force fed pushed a LOT of water through, but didn't think it was that much!! What size line and what style pick up you guy's using? We know our pump is only about 25 lbs but we'll be running force fed this season in the drag boat and definitely don't want the chiller to see that much pressure!!
We use -10 with only about 3/8" on the long side of an angle cut that's flush with the bottom of the plate in the front. Just got another pick up from Bergeron and it's got about a 1/2" hole facing forward. I'm thinking I'm gonna cut it off but trying to decide if I'm going to make it like the other or....
A single # 10 line feeds the engine. The pick up is on the cav plate, # 10 fitting through the plate , cut off on an angle. The bottom is open, no cup facing forward ?
I have since changed the incoming line setup and added a Tee to bypass the extra water outside before the block. This dump line has a 17# check valve to keep the block loaded , but, increase the water temp from 100 degrees to 180 degrees. We couldn't get the oil to warm up. It was always within a couple degrees of the water temp.. ( Bypass is a # 8 Enderle brass can, I could change the spring easily and I had it in the tool box )
I'd warm the oil up in the dry sump tank , but, as soon as the boat left the ramp, the oil was right back to the water temp. The bypass fixed that. Now the oil is 190 degrees for the whole race.
