BECKY WITH THE GOOD HAIR!

about 500hp. and cool thank you! still regulate it with the -8? or straight flow since it's not too big?

You MUST regulate it. A simple gate valve is adequate.

1/2 gate valve on an10 ok to run? any advice on how to get water running through the intercooler?

I never use less than a 3/4" valve.

is that 140 with it all the way open or what?

oh that's not bad at all. could I get away with the 1/2? since it's not even opened that much..

im open somewhere between 3/4 and 1 turn. its barely open

Dump fitting ID is too large. You should be in the 5/16" to 3/8" range. Just the bulkhead fitting,  nothing else.  Headers right? Where do your headers come in?

im pretty sure its a 3/8 dump fitting. its home now guess i could finally measure it

One dump, the headers are ran dry but i do have a valve if i want to inject water. I dont since i have the wideband now.

The only thing besides the dump is the steam line dump whcih is 1/4"

Steam line?

Do explain.

cliff notes

LS engines have a "steam port" at all 4 corners of the heads. In a car, typically the rear ones are blocked off and the front two are sent back into the cooling system. (atleast the newer ones early ones had all 4 going to the radiator)

I plumbed all 4 into a tee then overboard. If you dont its been discovered it can cause hot spots.. I did all 4 to be safe

hard to see, but you can see the rear two

thanks guys. any opinions on how hot/cold I should be running. I've heard people say to cold is bad?

to cold can be bad. Can create moisture in the oil and appear like a milkshake...

the closer you can get to 170 or so would be best i would think.

What fuel are you planning on running?

I keep an eye on my oil temp not so much the engine temp. And i tend to keep the oil temp under 180 but above 150 or so. And i dont seem to have to much moisture in the oil. But still get a slight bit in the valve covers

any advice on how to get water running through the intercooler?

I have a separate dedicated line & pick up with a through hull type fitting to feed the intercooler. Pick up is through the ride plate.

This is on a blower/cooler deal. No idea if it's done similar on turbos.
