It will be marginal. I would spend the $$ in other places. A K Member is about the same price and will help more.
They are pretty though.

Arnt electric water pumps only good for a certain amount of hours/passes as well? Dont the mechanical ones last 100x longer? I could be wrong but i remember hearing about this somewhere that if ur cars a DD an electric water pump is not what you want.

When they first came out I think they were supposed to be about 8 to 10 hp, they claimed at meziere, Its well worth it to do it, i think even without a gain. Great product, your car will run cooler and it looks cool.

That's a quote from their literature.
