this is the root of LLY cooling system problems. This is with a light load, on a normal Phoenix afternoon. I have had this number as high as 245.

At 245, and 20 psi of boost, at 5000 ft elevation the CAC offloads an additional 154,000 BTU/hr into the radiator. This is as much heat as is required to heat about 5 homes in North Dakota. Not to be too dramatic, the radiator is under attack.

If you're tapped for a pyro a drive pressure gauge wouldn't be too tough to do. Cheap boost gauge (extra), a couple feet of copper tube, a few more of poly tube, and a couple of minutes and you' re ready to rock. I might be free Saturday morning if you are looking for a hand.




On a side note, access to a metal lathe looks to be back on track. W/M by the end of the month maybe.?

Nice! Was this logged on your truck? What route did you take?
