That wouldn't bother me at all. Did you use a bleed funnel or lift the nose when you bled the system? The triple-pass radiators are not easy to fully bleed.
A bleeder funnel is key to getting these bled. I've got one for a Miata engine.
Savington. Does the tse rad use a different cap?
If not come over this weekend and we can tune a bit and bleed your coolant.
The TSE radiator does use a different size cap. It is a Chevy cap or something. The standard yellow magic funnel should have the correct adapter to fit in. At least the funnel kit I got off Amazon does.

I lifted it the first time but I have since had the upperhose off twice trying to find a better fit. I have the perfect hose now.

I think you guys are right about air in the system but it runs well at least. Sunday work? I have been playing with the EBC and made a little progress but with all the rain even 3rd is sketch.
1psi loss in 15 minutes could easily be attributed to a leak in the hose, gauge, pump, or the radiator adapter of the pressure tester itself, I wouldn't worry about leaks in the system.
I'd start look at bleeding like others have said. One of the bleeder funnels like this:
I jacked that ****** up as high as it would go and ran it through a few fan cycles topping it off. It didn't take much coolant. Maybe I got it. My overflow is not very big so that is part of it. Could be pushing more out than it can hold then sucking it up and running short.
Thought this was a great idea until I did it. It just looks a little over the top. Intake noise is about 10 times louder now. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner lives under my dash. I don't think it is going to last.
It took me a good 30min to fully bleed my TSE rad. At first I was like, there is no way this huge *** radiator only takes that much coolant, so I waited till the thermostat opened up and all was well.
