Default electric water pump

I'm thinking about getting an electric water pump form Meziere but i dont know which one to go with the WP119 or the WP319 series. The WP319 is alot more pricey but do i really need it and are they both direct bolt ons with no extra parts needed including belts?

the more expensive one is the street pump, that is the one you need, it flows more, the race pump, the cheaper is just for going up the quarter and shutting the car down, not good for start and go traffic. What are you other mods, b/c there is alot better things to spend the cash on if you only looking for a 1-2 hp gain from that of the pump.

There was an article that was showing that it was close to 10rwhp on stock applications. But for the price of it you can get a stall, cam, possible some used heads....anything. Looks good though, but not for $500.

a water pump is worth a lot more to a drag car.... quick cool downs between runs....

Yeah, I have all the bolt ons and a cam, just wanted to lower the temp a little bit. Since I put the underdrive pulley on, the temp stays at the half way mark, is that normal, or is there a cheaper way to lower the temp?

get a switch for ur fans so u can manually turn them on all the time if u want, or get the 160 thermo and have it set to turn em on right at 160, u might already have this done tho..

An e-waterpump is great for the track too. You can run it on a manual switch to run it while the car is off along with the fans on the radiator cools the block off QUICK Alot of the street/drag cars I have seen run this setup I intend on doing it when I rebuild my 418.

*drool*

It isn't too much of a strain on the battery....both running for a while?
