Stock or Electric Water Pump??? I am building a Ls6 block with the PRC 5.3 heads and Ms3 cam. It will be running on a street car. Should i get an electric water pump or just a stock water pump?

How much extra power does the electric one actually make? Can you really even feel the difference? I just can't see spending $500 on a water pump.

you can gain some hp but i can't be convinced it is worth it.....if you use your car just for track use or weekend driver im sure it would be fine....i drive mine atleast every other day and i would hate to be stranded because it just stopped working....

go stock on a street car. the electric ones dont have a super long life and they are expensive. not worth the 10hp unless you have money to wipe your *** with.
just saw a sponsor had a deal on them, might wanna check on that
