Cooling
« on: July 15, 2014 - 07:26:05 PM »
These are designed to increase (double) flowrate at idle, where
a lot of folks seem to have a cooling issue.

Be interesting to know if it really works, the price is not right in there with other high volume pumps so it just might be worth a try.

I can see how they could redesign a pump to be more efficient at low RPMs.  Tighter tolerances and more
vanes makes sense.   I keep hearing of guys having overheating issues at idle. Of course, I have upped my
idle to at least 1200 to help in that area. A higher idle also helps the alternator be more efficient.
