Default Re: WOT Tuning

Tyler, I would like to add my thanks also for your sharing the light about the cooling systems, both water & oil.

At 25 gpm flow/1k rpms, would that be a constant multiplier? So that at 7k rpms the flow is 175 gpm?......in theory only, minus the reducing effects of pump cavitation on flow. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what to ask of an aftermarket radiator mfg'er with reguards to burst pressure of the tanks and the core tubes. I've seen in the past that aftermarket radiators have suffered ruptured core tubes when T-stats were miss boxed.

Also, I'm sure that I'm not seeing the answer to this next Q in the system diagram, but what about flow to the heater core? Is that part not subject to seeing the same flow & pressure as the radiator?

TIA

Tom
