Reply to "Question About Coolant Bypass Restrictor Plate"

garth66"When speed is the only thing that counts"

Without the bypass restrictor plate, water will merely circulate in the block. There will be insufficient head pressure to drive coolant all the way to the front of the car, through the radiator, and back to the engine.

What water pump are you running? The Weiand 351C water pump does not have the bypass passage. So if you are using a Weiand water pump, you can run either the 351C thermostat or a 351W thermostat. It will make no difference.
