Power advantages with EWP
It's no secret that EWPs flow less in the higher RPMs than their cam-driven counterparts but rarely does that cause a problem. I've been driving with an EWP for 8 year now, granted it isn't my DD now but it was for 3 years after I installed it and I never had a cooling issue.
You'll find some people hate them and others love them. I personally don't see a problem with DDing an EWP car, as long as you wire in a warning system (how-to's are all over the place).

I have one on my dd car. It actually cools the car so much better than the cam driven that I had to put the 185* t-stat back in it because the 160* wouldn't let the car get over 130* on the stock temp gauge. Car runs great, but the butt dyno didn't show any marked improvement over stock.

Thanks guys. I would imagine in a DD it cools it better at a stop light then it does on the highway cruising 3000rpm?! I notice the cam driven water pump hates low rpm because of the flow of coolant and the lack of cool air flowing to the rad.

I had a EWP on my '94, the HD version. Loved it. I still have it, seems it hasn't sold yet. It's mounted to a HD Corvette style pump, the heater hose outlets worked better for me. It has a brand new motor brush set & end cap.
