True. I have used #8 and a small Davis radiator in front of the foot box (spitzer). I have used #8 with an larger AFCO above the transmission (race tech) and currently a typical AFCO on the blow shield with a #16 supply and #12 return (american) all using the exact same engine.....no difference.

| Well, if I was running gas I would go with a larger radiator than I did for alcohol and may consider larger hoses to. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability.

I've been waiting for you to post on this. I've always ran 12 line to my rear mounted radiator with the Meziere 100HD pump in my 1200-1300 hp RED. Although like a few have posted, there was an article a few years ago about running smaller line to keep the coolant in the radiator longer. I am considering a switch to -10 coolant lines. What are your thoughts? I think I remember you disputing this a while back. |

| Tony, I don’t believe it. We can stage at any temp we want late in the rounds with -12 hoses. Won a grueling 8 round race in brutal heat and humidity several months ago snd cooling was never an issue.  |

| My current car is all -12 but my previous car, on the advice of Meziere, was -16 into the pump and -12 out of the intake to create a pressurized system. Those -16 fittings really sucked to buy!
