Not set in stone yet, but I’m leaning that way and then doing a full write up on here for those looking for a lightweight and budget option...
Hi, you bought the Speedmaster electric water pump? I'm subscribed to this thread because I'm checking if I jump into one of this electric water pumps too.

I wish I could go ahead and purchase one of them and feel good about it but with them known to have leaks with my luck I would fire up the car and that thing would probably turn into a sprinkler 😵😵 at the same time it's almost worth a shot to try with the brand name pump costing 800 😞 I'm surprised anther company (brand name) hasn't tried to get into the EWP game and undercut prices they would stand to make alot of money

I found one for $170 brand new. Just arrived. It will probably take me a bit, but I’ll give a review once it’s on.

If this is the same Speedmaster that did LS1/2/6 heads, it is Chinese junk. Also known as Procomp.

You went with the speed master pump? If so why did you need the rebuild? You had it rebuilt out the box? Hell for 170 I'm really considering buying this if people are really having good luck with this

Nah his was a meizere, but he is showing me his belt routing to keep the power steering but also switch to a "race style" water pump that has no pulley in the middle.
