pretty keen on getting something like this going. I didn't hesitate to free-rev my engine when I fired it off and this thing revs out like a crotch rocket. I'm sure it will be advantageous to bottom end grunt as well as top end power.. And like you said, you can pull a ton of heat out of the engine between runs while in the staging area. I'm meeting with my CNC shop next week to produce a second water pump assembly as well as machine a backplate that is fashioned like the face of the cylinder block. This plate will have two pipes on the back of it that I can connect it in a closed loop setup where I can bring it up to ~16psi of pressure as well as have a heated reservoir to allow me to simulate engine conditions. Then just turn it on and let it run till it starts puking fluid and go from there. I just dont plan to put a ton of miles on my car and trying to test it that way wouldn't give good results until a few years down the road. So, at this point it is still heavily under development but expect something around summertime.
