Spoke with Greg @ Anti Venoom in Tampa which is were I think I'm going to take my car. He said electric water pump on Ls1 is 12 hp gain. Had on on his personal car got stranded once but if he had fuses with him he would have been ok. Don't know why the blow fuses so often never had any blow on my car but that was his only proble in 5 yrs.

I'm not expecting anything just passing along the information that was given to me. I would consider that a reliable source though. His shop has been in GM High Tech Performance many times and is know as a reliable tuner in the area. Just spoke breifly on the phone with him about what I want to do to my car and asked his opinion on it for a daily driver . He did not try to sway me one way or another just gave me his personal experience with the one he had . Keeping fuses on hand was his suggestion if I do it.

freeing up 10hp or making 10hp...at the end of the day its still 10more rwhp than you had before so it really don't matter where it comes from; clarifying or arguing the point is really just semantics.
So if you do EWP, get a 60amp relay, a nice ECT gauge, and maybe even a audible alarm or light that comes on if the EWP loses power...does this about cover it?
BTW who has the best pricing for the Meizere "street" EWP...and is that the consensus on the best one to go with if we are focusing on it being a DD?

Well then, using logic, if it reduces parasitic loss, then you should see an increase in usable power. Slight though it might be,
