Re: [T3] Full flow to Go?

["Keith Park" <TopNotchResto@worldnet.att.net>]

Oil pressure booster kits only boost cold or operating pressure if there is
reserve capacity from the pump.
at idle speed with 6psi your pump is out of capacity and your releif and
control valves (provided there working properly and not sticking) are
already shut tight and the pressure boosters will do no good.

 nice thought but...
