Hmmmm.....all very valid points. I guess I was thinking of it as mentioned above, in the perfect world where it wouldn't matter series or parallel.
So you're running 2 pumps? Are they off the same relay, or did you have to add another relay for the second pump? Are they hotwired to run all the time? Can you lay out for me the flow of your system, what's connected to what, and where the 2 pumps are in the system? Thanks.....

I have both pumps running from the original circuit and fuse, with the relay 'hotwired' on (yellow wire grounded at the firewall). Eventually, I want to fuse the pumps seperately, so if (when) one fails, it blows its fuse and the other pump remains running. Next time I have the fenderwell out.

A while back I did some heat exchanger calculations that confirmed the stock CCHE (around 80 sq. in., as I recall) is not adequate to prevent rapid rise in water temp in the IC at WOT (airflow at 60 MPH, water flow 5 GPM, I forget what the IATs were before/after the IC). By adding another 120 sq. in (200 sq. in total), the calculations showed that the CCHE could keep up with the heat being dumped into the upper IC. So, if you put a CCHE that big in front of the radiator, it should work (if it doesn't block too much airflow from the engine rad, A/C condenser, etc. - and if it doen's get too much heat soak from the rad & A/C condenser at idle).
However, the stock location is a good one for airflow (with a scoop), and is lower than most of the heat sources (but the crossover exhaust is pretty close)... seems a waste to NOT have a CCHE there.

To answer RichHeezee01, that tank takes up every bit of room that is in the bumper there. I just had to loosen the front bumper some and drop the tank in, I put some dampen material on the outside of the tank on the bottom and side to kepp it from making noise if it was touching anything. I also put a fill tube in it so I could put ice in it if I go to the track. My buddy works at an industrial machine shop, so we cut and bent what we needed and had another guy weld it up. I did the tank there just because it was wasted room and I didn't want a tank in the back. I am thinking about doing something like this for alky, but have to decide where I want it. The rad was simple, just had a few holes welded up and made a few brakets, but does make the truck run a little hotter if in traffic.
I have a shurflo pump,water tank, extra cche,3/4 lines, 7" fan and scoop on the lower, the tank and lines add right around 2 1/2 gallons to the whole system, but as far as iat temps go the ram air helped the most I think, by keeping temp low before boosting.
