Buy an electric water pump, you'll make more power, going from LS1 to an LS6 water pump will do nothing for you, and put a 160* thermostat in it.

my point exactly..... if you don't plan on rebuilding an electric water pump...don't go for it....i read somewhere a while back that the electric ones will most likely need rebuilding after 3-5 years of use..as for the ls6 pump....i never heard a cooling difference from the ls1...im assuming thats why it says "race only"

Agreed. You will get more bang for the buck spending $500-600 dollars on other parts for your car that will more efficiently utililize exising rwhp than the questionable 5-6 horsespower you gain with an EWP.
And I doubt mine will last 100,000 miles.
Some parts instead of an EWP:
Shocks
Torque Arm
MT Drag Radials
LT's
LCA's + Panhard
Magnaflow catback or other
SPAL Extreme 3000 Fan
Fronts - wheels and tires (skinnies)
