elec water pump vx man one.... Hello
I currently have an electric water pump (race style) that does not use the belt. I went this way since I wanted to squeeze all the power I could out of my NA combination. I also wanted to be able to run the water pump in the pits to cool the engine, but here lately this seems to be over rated. I am thinking about reinstalling my old water pump so I can have a thermostat and one less electrical item. Plus, I have only used it one season so it still looks bran new and has low hours. However, I will have to make a tension bracket to work with the current system. Does anyone have a dyno of back to back comparison runs manual vs electric? What are your opinions? If the water pump is only worth 6 or so hp, them I will put my old one back one in favor of extra cash to be spent on something else.
