    use the normal, higher psi caps will put pressure on coolant seals

    but it will also increase boiling point, good for hotter running motors like mine

    I know the Ali Type-Z has a deeper inlet where the rad cap sits (about 16mm) but think the std cap should be ok.

    OEM cap pressure is 0.9 so yeah a 1.2-1.3 cap is the way to go for 4AGE driven in anger
