[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15978497, member: 124025"] I'm confident the pressure differential will be the same on either end of the pump. Fluid dynamics are pretty predictable in a closed system. All those 90* turns in that hose just serve to make more pressure in the system. More pressure just serves to reduce the amount of coolant that can be circulated efficiently by the pump. Since I"m pushing at least another 200 rwhp over what Ford designed, in addition to 50% more coolant, I'm looking for more improvement. If Ford Engineering was the end all be all, there would be no need for the aftermarket. Ford's mission was to design a high horsepower [b]"affordable"[/b] Mustang, nothing more nothing less. If you think the factory by-pass is worth Ford's $375 list price, by all means, go for it. It may be as simple as where can we install the pump where it's most serviceable. The by-pass may have been an afterthought to fix to the problem of coolant frothing in the reservoir. I'm sure a lot of owners with burnt pump wires are wondering whether theit R&D went far enough. Are the wires too small. Is here too much vibration being mounted on the engine? Is it a product of too much heat? Hmmm.... Not to mention the factory heat exchanger list price is over $2,800. What's a $300 intercooler pump compared to that? Unless road debris rips off my bumper cover, my pump is well out of harm's way and would be the least of my worries if that happens. [/QUOTE]
