Clutch and cooling?

Ok here we go! I have a 1995 M6 (123,XXX)with a fried clutch and a leaking waterpump. I was wondering if anyone has a RAM Musclecar clutch kit and if they like it, and what the opinion is on electric waterpumps for street cars? My car is stock but I plan on doing the basic mods nothing real wild.

Replace that pump as soon as you can before you need a new opti also

MSD makes a good coil.

Most aftermarket electric water pumps are similar. There's no real decisive winner. CSR, Meziere, Summit, etc. Most pumps use the same motor anyway.
