Hi all:

        We would always remove the thermostats in any racing car and replace
it with a stainless steel plate w/ a hole about the size of the
thermostat opening. If
we forgot the restrictor plate, the car wouldn't cool. Formula cars
w/ double pass rads,
25% antifreeze, etc. Just my 20+ year-old memory, YMMV, : )

Regards,
James

James what pressure caps did you run?

My guess is that the restrictor is necessary to make the pump operate at the
desired point on its performance chart.
