Your point is well taken about low end pressure...it was a concern of mine as well. At idle I have about 4-5 psi, with barely a trickle coming out the dump, at 70 mph pressure is about 15 with a good stream out the dump, and at 100+ pressure is 20. I do know from before I had the dump my idle pressure was exacly the same as now, at 70 I had about 25 psi, and @100+ the guage was buried (I estimate 45psi+)
My water temp is 150 all the time, idle..6700rpm, doesn't matter. I run a thermostat in the system as well.

How is your oil temps. This is something I may have to work on this summer. Will probably need a oil stat.
