Temp definatelystays at the stat more consistently, and drops quicker than it did with the stock unit. I don't know what spending more could have done for me (??).

Also next time you have the housing off run your finger in the bottom right side water port. if you can't fit your finger in it with room to spare like a stock one it is restricting flow! been down that road as well! 440 source crap is what i had!!

They may work fine if one lives in cold Alaska but in SoCal heat they will overheat.. Don't know where they dumped these.. Stay kleer of any bargain ones.. Just my $0.05...

This one is not a source set, it came from ProComp. I'm aware of the passage issue people have posted about. This one is pretty open, I could put my finger easily up and around the bend. I'll watch the pump bearings, but as I said: so far so good. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120
