Running a stock head whats my best way of rigging the cooling? I want two feeds going into my manifold, for the added safety/redundancy. Obviously the goal is controlling the pipe temp... So the question is, what do I do with the lines after the manifold?
stock head, how to dual cool?

most people just tap the side of the head - do you really need dual cooling though?
already committed at this point, I tapped my pump and manifold... was going to go with girdled head and then a flow control valve to regulate chamber temp, but don't really feel like spending the dollars at the moment, didn't realize a head was close to 400 bills... If I do a head I might as well do pistons and rings, then see what kind of condition the crank is in, etc, I don't want to get that committed this close to summer.
where is a good spot to tap the stock head?

think I dare do it with the head installed? Don't have a head gasket handy either...

I would not bother with adding the dual cooling lines unless you're going to raise the compression.
the goal was to be able to dry the exhaust out... not worth it with stock compression?

Use a Jetworks flow control valve if you have an A/M pipe on the stinger inlet because dual cooling outlets on the head won't dry out the pipe.

Not sure if it's enough to matter, but ada's can be had for $300.
zero - aware of that.... As I see things, you cannot dry out exhaust with single cooling line, or you'll toast the engine.
$300 from where ?

Your setup doesn't require dual cooling. If you do end up installing it I would install jets right before both pissers to restrict the water flow

What's wrong with raising the water pressure? :scratchchin:
This is a common practice in most cooling systems because it raises the boiling point of the water and helps prevent nucleate boiling.
If you restrict the lines before the engine your chances of cooking the motor are significantly increased if the line becomes partially block with debris.

Not to mention the bleeders on a b-pipe are going to mist at high pressure and dribble at low pressure. The quicker you can get them to mist the better when low end power is a concern.
