We had a pressure system on a short tour and it blew and he lost his engine. Good luck
I'm not using the quail cap for pressure, just for looks. The inlet is under the hood off to the side on a Brassworks closed system radiator. Thus my using a zero PSI cap, so basically its a closed system that is not pressurized and should function like a standard A cooling system with an overflow tank, but no spewing out the top of the top inlet cap if any overheating happens. I have an inlet temp gauge to monitor the engine temp.
