The big no to restrictors might be for their pumps. They may have designed
the pumps that way. Remember that a belt driven pump will pump more as
engine speed increases, but an electric pump can do whatever it's designer
wants it to. The last time I looked at electric coolant pumps, the quality
ones were regulated based on coolant temperature.

?Paul,

?The Stewart people say a big no to restrictors ! You should get
?their brochure it has some good tech stuff
?www.stewartcomponents.com ...I think! Personally I do not
?believe it can be too fast! cavitation and such excluded. It
?is impossible for the water not to contact the hot surfaces
?and remove heat - and the faster the better.
