Default The march set didn't work for racing

Guys the march set didn't turn the water pump fast enough on the track and the motor would be 230F after just 10 minutes Charging at idle with a 70A alt was only 26 amps. The battery was being drained with all the fans on and electric fuel pump and MSD system. Asp made me a custom setup that works fine. 195 after 20 minute heats.
On the street the March system may work OK. Track is a different story I am running the edelbrock water pump with hi flow plate on the impellor. This helped alot with temp. The rest was going to a bigger thermostat for flow. Motor heats to 180-185 is 3 minutes and is steady after that. 30 degree drop in coolant temp until everything is warmed up. The kirkham setup is sharp. I know they are not cheap but milling them is not cheap either. Rick L.
