As Dan'l stated, you can try cutting the loader ramps back, little-by-little, to see if you start picking up in the direction that you want to go.

I was told you can see how well your loader is working by the pressure on you water guage in the intake manifold, is that true?

Not true

Tap the suction before the impeller  1/8-27NPT for pressure gauge(s).  If one gauge, tap at 9-o-clock, directly opposite the cooling water port.  If you really want to "dial it in," tap as high and low for two gauges, roughly 11-o-clock and 7-o-clock.  You are concerned with the impeller inlet pressure, which will be a dynamic pressure, because the water is flowing.

Disclaimer:  it's really difficult to do with gauges.  Usually a data system is used to record through a pass.

I will post pictures, tonight, of where to tap.

Okay so I am shopping tonight more questions for you! Buying the Manuel floor mount place diverted machined for  inserts. My questions are should I buy the place diverted droop or the berkley droop? Also is the bolt on place diverted ride plate worth it?

For mini-droops, I like the Place Diverter HPH and American Turbine has something in between a steering adapter and a mini-droop.  I think there is merit to both designs, but without testing, it's only theory.

For full-droops, I like American Turbine and older Berkeley.  Honestly, I haven't looked at any of the new Berkeley stuff.  Between the PD full-droop and the American Turbine/Berkeley, without doing back-to-back testing, I couldn't say.  My guess is that you probably wouldn't notice a difference.  However, if you want the PD bolt-on ride plate, your choice is already determined.

Typically, with a standard intake and a <20' hull would get a full-droop.  Heavy hulls may not be able to take advantage of a full-droop without more horsepower.  There may be an advantage to not bending the water.  A full-droop lowers the thrust point, so adding one may induce some porpoising.  It's always best if you can try it first to see if you will like it.
