not worth it for an hp gain alone unless your trying to wring out the most absolute power out of a combo. gains have shown nil to ~5rwhp.

install instructions can be found at ls1howto.com

electric pumps are also good to cool down your motor in the staging lanes

I loved how quick my car would cool at the track. Plus its a really nice looking bling item under the hood. Power wise though, i didnt gain but a few HP from it. Ill be doing it again though on my new car, when i do my Cam. Im Mr. Max Effort
