Wanted to update. I went with the Meziere 55 gph unit and it ended up doing the job fine. The notes on the install .. the belt needed to be .5 inch shorter, supplied allen head SS bolts where .125 too long, and the power steering bracket needed to be cut to fit over the outlet. Water temps during a 30 mile cruise hit a high of 180 at 2300 rpms.. and idling it for a little while temps came down. This was run no thermostat.

Update on my "True Street" outing this past weekned.. made the cruise fine.. first pass 9.84 at 138 on a 1.5x 60 foot.. second pass as soon as I did the burnout.. Aeromotive pump died and lost pressure. After I let it cool off.. it came back to life.. what a bum deal.. but hey thats racing.. new pump will solve the maladies. That pumps been on the car for 5 years at least.
