100 GPM is 1-1/2 gallons per SECOND!!!...quote:Originally posted by David_Nunn:
According to Stewart Components, a "typical" engine flows 100 GPM of coolant! That sounds like a lot of coolant to me but Stewart Components know what they're talking about. Most NASCAR teams use their water pumps.
They make a 55 GPM electric pump; however, they state it's only suitable to be used as a booster pump; not as an engine's primary water pump.
Maybe I'm naive!!...I DON'T see a radiator capable of flowing 1-1/2 gallons per SECOND!!!.
For that matter I don't believe a FULLY OPENED 351 Cleveland thermostat would/could allow 1-1/2 gallons per second!!!...Mark
