The longer you can keep the water in the heat exchanger the better/cooler... true story.

Generally I agree, but when the water fails to pump back to the tank because of hose placement. Typically there isnt enough flow. I have essentially a setup from a gt500 now using the bosch style pump on a heat exchanger 3 times the size of the factory vortech "transmission cooler" the vortech power cooler is also alot larger then most PD aftercoolers. I am positive I need the extra output. Its horrid how poorly it flows. I dont think 8-10gpm would be out of the question at all. In fact Steve at PD agrees with me.

Sounds good. I don't have one that pumps that volume

The question from a thermodynamics POV is maximizing the amount of heat removed from the cooling system by the exchanger. The rate of flow for a given system must be in some bell curve range considering all the parameters in the system. I can't imagine just faster or just slower being automatically better. Imagine a system that doesn't move at all. That overheats obviously. A system that flows at some extreme high rate won't expose the heated coolant to the exchanger for periods long enough dissipate the heat (IOW, what little cooling there is will be quickly reheated). I don't recall the formulas for efficiency of heat dissipation, but there is kind of a lot this question. As for the specific question of how much Guy needs, hell if I know, but if there is some "tribal" knowledge that 10gpm is better than standard 5gpm~, there's probably good reason. Certainly stands to reason that if the after cooler is much larger capacity and the fans blowing more air over them, then likewise, you could push the coolant through faster to be in that bell curve of efficiency. Imagine a bell curve with heat removed on the x axis and flow on the y axis. I imagine heat removed to be low with very low flow and very high flow, and to be high with "just right" flow. Or I might be wrong, but that's how I'm thinking about it.

I just inquired into the Lightning cooler pump and it is the same as my 5.5GPH pump that we offer. At least on the Lightning that we have here....

The later model lightnings had the same pump as the 03-04 cobra which is 9gpm.

I don't want to take business away from someone but I have a water pump from Harbor Freight and it works great. http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt...ump-94639.html

Or one of these: http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchant...gory_Code=AWIC

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.
