I looked into getting bigger water pump last night to no luck as the next size up is WAY BIGGER and draws almost 9 AMPS at peak compared to our 2.2 draw.....but does flow 5 times as much water the Johnson Marine pump we currently have.....
i am going to bite the bullet and buy 2 more water temp gagues and install them in the in-line going to the Comp. Aftercooler and one in the return line feeding back down after the Comp. Aftercooler......so i will catch both temps telling me what the water temp is before and after so i can see how much they vary.......the 1st will let me know how well the Tech 2 Radiator is cooling the water as it will heat up going through the Aftercooler and 2nd will tell me how high the water temps are getting.
If i am not happy with the readings i will switch back to the little Comptech unit and see how it compares. I am really after Facts here and not just feeling the Aftercooler and makeing a judgement based on the hand temperature gague.

ya if i feel like installing and un-installing both units which is going to be a pain in the butt.....just to prove a point.....if i am not happy with the Tech 2 unit i will.....because it is pretty heavy filled up with water and also blocking air going to my oil cooler and radiator sittin out front there.....the comptech rad is really little and light plus it doesn't block air to my oil cooler which is got me concerned now......so i will have to wait and see how things unfold in the next few months for me.....right now i am installing TEIN SRC's and have to get an alignment done 1st....then off to the dyno for tuning
