Not really, I wouldnt drive my car in the Winter, I consider mine a street car.. Just cuz you drive it all year round doesn't mean ****. What about the cars that didn't cme with AC or power windows? Or if the car is just on a diet? I think your just jealous!!! 
Sorry to hijack your thread! I think the street car / race car talk is what u consider it as.. I'm in for info, wish I had some usefull info

The purpose in my point was to try and see if anyone has figured out how to hook up the heat with these race pumps. I like weight reduction and it could be a way of saving some.

It is what it is, and at times there is a difference. Just because you drive your no heat, no ac having car a few hours to somewhere does not make it a street car. It does make it a race car on the street. Drive it year round, year after year. Treat it as your only car, then it's a good street car. That's what mine has been for more than 13yrs now.
I was hopeing someone had some pics or info about hooking up the heater with a race pump and if it would cool pulling up hill with a ac condensor in front of it.....you know, the stuff a street car has to do.

Studderin is talking about driving his car to Indy for the LSX shootout
Next week from upstate NY !!!
Never seen race cars do that....
Just because it's your only car and everyone else has a practical car
As there daily driver Doesn't mean everyone that's faster has a race car.
We have nasty winters here, 100" of snow a season and tons of
Salt on the roads. I would never drive my car in that.

It's not like I have anything against it, it's just the differences in the builds.

You can use the threaded port on the passenger side of the pump for your high pressure side,(same as the back heater hose fitting on a stock pump). For the low pressure hose (the front fitting on the stock pump) you can tap into the radiator near the lower radiator hose port or into the lower radiator hose itself. You can also tap into the low pressure side on the water pump, call meziere for help on this.

Yes a heater can be hooked up to the race pump.

I dont think I can do that with the small battery, I have no reserve to run anything without the motor running. I'm only making 4xx whp so don't have any over heating issues from power, or need to do any fast cool downs at the track. Your talking you have it hooked to the blower (heater fan) to run the WP, and electric fans with the engine off.
But you have the pump wired normally to be on when the engine runing, with a relay? Or any kind of special temp senor control?
How was DW this year, post anything about it? I have the 1320vids I liked seeing your car, the little I think it showed up in 1-2 of them I have.
You think I should get that pump or the HD? would you change anything on your setup?

Drag Week was brutal this year!! Only 1 drive under 380 miles and the roads were terrible! My headers are beat up petty good. Other than that it was a good time as usual. 1320 wasn't there this year because speed channel was filming. Some 3rd party media BS. I think the coverage suffered because of that too.

I have the 55gpm pump on mine. I don't have heat and just left the plugs in that go to the heater. I don't run a tstat. I love how fast I can cool my car down. We race the heck out of this car. I can have it back down to the temp I want after each pass in 60-90 seconds most of the time. I run both fans and turn the pump on in the staging lanes. 2 tuesdays ago we ran over 25 passes back to back with only minutes between runs. We double up so pretty much by the time we switch drivers and get buckled we are running again. The car does great on the street in the heat as well. Never had a problem cooling it. If I didn't race mine as hard as I do, I might get the smaller pump, but I am happy so far with my current pump.

i run a 19" flex, although i don't have a stock radiator.. I also use the 45* adapter from meziere to put the fitting at a 90 rather than the 45 it comes outta the pump, due to my alternator location. I also don't run a Tstat, and have yet to overheat it in NYC traffic.. Highest i've witnessed was 196ish... stayed fairly cool.. w/ a single derale fan...
