Santa Came Early!!! Hellcat Redeye build with RMS suspension!!!

I did put a rubber isolator underneath my radiator between it and the core support only because my car shakes the earth when running. I figured it was cheap insurance since it is only a thin aluminum radiator.

Never had rubber isolators on any of my Mopar radiators! Just took the radiator out of my 64 Imperial and it's original and hard mounted.

Thank you all. I will solid mount it like the stock unit and keep an eye on it. If needed, I can always add a rubber bushing down the road.

Next up is to figure out what pump to use. I have it narrowed down to two pumps due to the factory pump being absurdly priced.

Davies Craig Electric Booster Pump Kits DC-9040 this flows 9.2 gpm.

Many use this pump in the LS swap world with no issue.

Or

Meziere Remote Electric Water Pumps WP136S this flows 20gpm.

I'm worried the davies craig won't flow enough by the time it completes the loop with the restrictions of the coolers. The hellcrate instructions call for recommended output of 45 L/min (12 gal/min) at 150 kPa (22 PSI).

What are your thoughts? Is 20gpm too much flow? Definitely don't want it passing through the heat exchanger to fast.

You're in the California Bay area? If so, the 9.2 gpm pump should be OK. Otherwise if in a warmer climate, the 20gpm might be better!

Yes, I'm in the bay area.

9.2 gpm then as the ocean climate will help keep you cool!
