470 going to the dyno - HP/TQ estimates

Glad that rear seal situation is taken care of.

The thing with plugging the water pump bypass is, you basically can’t use a thermostat when it’s plugged.
The bypass port is exactly that…….it allows coolant to bypass the stat and circulate until it opens.

After it’s plugged there needs to be a way to flow coolant……..and the easy solution at that point is just remove the stat.
