bypass hose burst

well thank god i was in the driveway about to put the car away for the night when this happened.. i started noticing a rather heavy steam coming from under my hood... opened up the hood and sure enough coolant everywhere.. hurray.. so really got to look at it today and its the bypass hose.. i figured while this is an inexpensive fix mines well order a ton of other crap to upgrade the stock or semi original hose etc.. my car had been running hot for the past couple times i had taken it out so i ordered a new water pump, (original is still in there) its made by Tuff stuff bought it from summit looked like a pretty decent one.. i also ordered a couple other hoses, thermostat, and a few other things.. my car was running about 220 which was constant but seems a little high.. hopefully with the new stuff it will come down some.. anyone use a Tuff stuff Water pump before? any good?
 
Never heard of them.

Did you get a 180 or 195 T-stat?

I changed from a 180 to a 195 and the car runs much cooler.
