Sparky,

What do you mean by "... through resevior then overboard"? Are you dumping water during a run?

Let me see if I can interprete what DW said:
Dumping water on the run = Not running on my damn track again!
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

miss spoke---I should have used the term" 1 pass"---it will go to another tank in the nose now to shift the CG forward. I am planing to cool the exhaust with a jacket  around the the exhaust pipe like boats when I  turbo, for I will need the nose tank for additional cooling water capacity.

Sparky,
You said that you were thinking about cooling the exhaust? I hope you are talking about the exhaust from the turbo not the exhaust going in.

Not much matters and the rest doesn't matter at all.

 :? Anybody ever try running a sea pump like used by Mercruiser on the Offshore Race Boats? Or for that matter maybe even the standard sea pump used on the offshore pleasure boats? :-D

Yep, it'll work for most. I've used one as a charge air cooler pump too!

Definitely--after the turbos--exhaust pipe only---header pipes will be thermal coated in front of the turbos
