We did but our car is a full time drag car now. Before we still had the fans hooked up manually.Never had to turn it on even in drive up fast food joints on hot summer days. Was nice to know it was there if needed

Thank you all. I will then be looking into swapping into an electric piece in the next few weeks. And any additional hp that it contributes, I'll take. Thanks again fellas'.

I have had a Meziere for about 5 months. No trouble with me. Stays cooler at the track, temps are nice while cruising as well. Mine turns on when the key goes on and off.

When you install an electric pump, all you're doing is removing the cover, removing the impeller, and bolting the new motor and impeller into the stock housing. The coolant temp gauge doesn't move.
