Default waterpump gone bad

What water pump do you think I should go with. I use the car for regular driving/ocassional racing? Mechanical/electric?

The electric will give you some power, but how long will it last (miles/hours) on a daily driven ride? Also do they even flow as well as a stocker or an Evans belt driven?? How many miles did your stock pump last? (mine made it to 80K)

Mine has 91,XXX miles but it leaks from the gaskets -and does not over heat but- I might as well replace the pump as well.

If you need a good used one, ive got mine for sale. $100 shipped to your door. It has 22, 022 on it and no signs of leakage. I replaced mine with a race version Meziere.

I use the electric street version of Meziere and i see lower coolant temps sitting in traffic/low speed cruising. On the highway, it's the same temps as before.

I usually let the pump run for a few minutes once i turn the car off.
