HIGH
FLOW THERMOSTATS
These High Flow Thermostats greatly aid the proper functioning of a high performance cooling system. They are engineered to warm the engine to a proper operating temperature without making it run hot enough to lose power. Also the "Balanced Sleeve" design is highly recommended for use with High Volume water pumps. With other thermostat designs, the increased flow generated by High Volume water pumps can actually attempt to hold the thermostat closed. The "Balanced Sleeve" design equals the pressure exerted on the thermostat allowing its operation to be solely regulated by coolant temperature.

WATER
OUTLET RESTRICTORS
In race applications these Water Outlet Restrictors, on Chevys and Fords, replace the thermostat. They work to slow the flow of coolant through the block and radiator which allows more heat to be absorbed from the block and more heat to be released through the radiator. In cases where the engine has excess cooling capacity, as in an alcohol burning engine, a higher amount of restriction is required than the thermostat, while open, can provide. This kit contains restrictors with 1", 3/4" and 5/8" openings to allow tailoring to your particular application.
