Default HO Alternator & Electric H2O Pump
If I go with an electric water pump will I need a HO alternator for my '98 camaro. Anyone have any suggestions on which one to go with and who sells them? Do they take any more hp to spin? Is the difference negligible?

I have a Meiz. EWP and the March Pulley set (Crank and Alt. Pulley), the alt. pulley is noticably smaller then the stock one and my car charges and runs fine.

it mounts the same way. I think it only uses two bolts instead of three though, no big deal. Its a little bigger than the f-body one but shouldnt be a problem.
