You got it Aardil

And that's about what I figured. Not much change if any. The second loop should be powered with a second pump on a completely seperate loop so the water isn't going through any blocks.
The other idea to do with the second loop is to help cool the pump. Of course a second rad and pump is what I'd do here. Since my MCP600 appears to be completely sealed I am going to try and figure out a way to liquid cool the whole pump. With all the talk about pump heat lately, which after being steered to Cathars chart on pump heat I'm amazed at the heat produced, I've been thinking it's about time to cool the pumps as well. At the very least the impeller housing. Encasing a whole DC pump with something to liquid cool it can't be terribly tough. And this will at least negate some of the pump heat issue which should eliminate some of that problem. We'll see when/if I get it done

There's a third idea as well but I'm just gonne try that one and se how it works. I have tons of ideas but I'm not willing to do the math like most guys here as I'm more into the ideas and experimenting. Trial and error's more fun to me

The 200 bills isn't an issue since I have a spare at my race shop that I no longer use. It's an older copper Modine unit that's no longer made. They're all aluminum now.
