The way my CL is done is how it was reccomeded by the owner of Oceans Motions right down to the size of pump, I believe it's all in my build thread. Spent several hrs talking to him on the phone & got some great info.

Yep that one

And this one that shows the intake manifold but what I didn't get a pic of is the loc-lines that are attached to the returns. I put 3 - 3/4" on each return.

Intake is a 2" line & returns are 1" so when running its a even ratio of 2 - 2. The pump is a Dolphin 3600 GPH. Loc-lines calculate out at 2 1/4" per return.
