Default High Flow Water pump?

It looks like Edelbrock made or maybe currently still makes a high flow water pump for a F-Body, but has anybody seen one for a Corvette LS3? I want to run a triple pass radiator and it doesn't look like the current water pump will be up to the task. I have read people running a twin pass and it working, but a fair amount more is needed for a triple pass.

Anybody know of a place that modifies them or does anybody know of a modification to increase the flow?

These are the ones I know about that are up to professional road racing level.

Holley also has their mid-mount accessories. I have to assume there are design improvements in the LT1 based water pump, but I have no idea on actual performance specs.

I run a dual pass rad with an EWP150 and the DC water manifold kit in my vette, works really well.

My radiator inlet is on the drivers side, so I would have to run a triple pass. The radiator mfg says the standard pump will not work on a triple pass.

You don't have to get a triple, they make dual pass in both outlet types. Personally I dont see the need for a triple, the dual already cools too well.

If I had a Corvette with 20 different radiator options, I probably would not see the benefit of a triple pass radiator either, but I do not, hence the reason I am asking if there is a high flow water pump in a Corvette LS3 style water pump so I can run a triple pass radiator.

Just because you "don't see the need" doesn't make the need any less apparent in my application.

I don't run a Corvette radiator, I run a universal dual pass radiator along with a universal electric water pump. If you shared more about your setup we could help more, but all you said was LS3 so I stated what would easily cool an LS3 (a twin turbo one at that). The only thing LS specific on my cooling system is the Davies Craig water manifold: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/d...SABEgKcR_D_BwE

I was specific. I stated clearly that I was looking for a high flow water pump for a Corvette LS3. I wanted to know if anybody made one or did modifications so I could run a triple pass radiator. I need the Corvette style due to the offset.

That's why I brought up electric water pumps, but I guess you have it all figured out. Good luck in your endeavor.

I’m running an Evans water pump. The have them to fit your application. From my research they outflow all other pumps. You don’t need to use Evans waterless coolant either
