Need a new pressure cap!! What rating??
As title,
Need a new pressure cap for the 3 door. Got a ford 100psi one at the moment. Is this OK for a Stage 3 level of tune or does it need to be of higher rating? Also, what benefits are there in running a higher pressure cap?
Regards
Andy

Andy are you talking about the radiator cap.. if so thats a little high!! 
needs to be somewhere about 16 psi!!
Raising the pressure rating on the cap actually raises the temperature where the water boils.
I think its 3 degrees per 1 psi or somthing like that?
