Typically a higher pressure allows for a higher temp before boil over. Not a problem, if all the other components in the system can handle it which most modern parts can. I've been using a 16 lb cap for years in my 40 Ford with an aluminum radiator for many years without a problem.

Anyone know why I should use a heavier than stock?  I have not talked to Ron yet, looking for a little background knowledge.
