getting close to firing

Hey AJ/FormS, not to hijack but how much did you end up restricting your bypass? I ask because I was thinking of doing that as well to get as much coolant through the radiator, I have seen some blocked off all together and drilled holes in the T stat for a bypass, I don't think I need to go that far. I have no heater core hooked up and I capped that off instead of making another bypass.
