Just went from WW to trunk

Just a couple thoughts...

I wondered if anyone that had done so noticed a slight decrease in meth flow.

I have meth flow on my oil temp gauge and when I was WW, it would swing all the way to the right and peg.

Now it swings almost all the way to the right...about a tick or 2 from pegging, but it's consistent.

Is just due to the fact the pump is pushing it further? Or should I check some other stuff?

Do not worry about it if you purged the system as instructed.

did you leave the pump in the engine bay or put it in the trunk too?

pumps in trunk too...originally it was only swinging half way and I found a kinked piece of line...replaced and now it's nearly full flow on the gauge.

nozzle pressure will be reduced with line length decreasing flow, but I found it to be negligible. Actually i seemed to gain some flow and I contribute it to using 100% nylon meth line instead of partial rubber hose when under the hood.
