Loader ?

Whats the difference in a loader that directs water to the bottom of the impeller vs a loader that directs water to the top of the impeller?

I was told that the top loader is for jets going in excess of 70.

I know Talorman's boat goes 70. Would that improve top end speed?
What if I put a top loader on a 65mph jet?

Mine only hits 64.3 on the gps. 70 will have to wait for a while. Kids gotta eat. I would like to see the pics though.

The originators of the loader (Jeff Bennet, et. al.) designed it to direct water to the top of the impeller as the shoe or back cutting edge of the intake primarily feeds the bottom of the impeller ... a loader that directs water to the bottom of the impeller does not function as loaders were originally designed and does not really help feed/distribute water into the full face of the impeller, which is the real purpose of a loader.
