LT1 Overheating, SOLVED.
In fact a couple people have responded to this thread (see quotes directly below, you responded to one of them directly - to discount the experience of course) with their personal experience conforming this. Others have experienced no rise in coolant temps (also responses in this thread). And there have been new threads here on LS1Tech asking about raised coolant temps while highway cruising (EWP related of course, because MWP don't do that).

Shall we continue this dance? Do you want to continue to be a belligerent uninformed poster who seems hell bent on showing everyone here exactly how much he doesn't know?
There are more moving parts and more failure points in an lt1's mechanical setup. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE! The electric setup simplifies the impeller's driving force and removes common failure points on an lt1's stock cooling system. A simple google search will show you these facts, you should be able to find them easily. Even easier, read through this thread at the factual accounts posted by other users about this subject.Do I really think the electric motor gets its power from no where? Yes, I certainly do. Its a magically being that I pray to at sunrise and sunset. Do you fear turning on your radio, headlights, or lowering your windows? Do you use smoke signals to call the AAA driver from your overheating car?? I know electricity is a scarey god-like force, but it simply works better than what you like to claim. A simple google search will show you this. Try using the small matter under your cranium!
Have you ever road-raced your car? You claim that is your reason for keeping the mwp. I have only seen you post drag racing results. Are you making more "facts" up to "support" your ill-found argument?

Total moving parts for MWP drive on stock LT1 = 6.
LT1 EWP: 1 switch/relay (yep it's a moving part), 1 electric motor (with at least 2 brushes (moving part), 1 armature with impeller mounted on it, and 2 bearings), 1 alternator (with at least 2 brushes, 2 bearings, and an armature with pulley mounted to it), 1 crankshaft pulley, and 1 belt.
Minimum moving parts in an EWP = 14.............
How are them "facts" working out for you?
That was elementary school math bro!
The EWP doesn't simplify the driving "force", it reduces it while also adding complexity and reducing efficiency for the cooling system as a whole. I does remove a couple possible failure points (coupler/weep hole), but adds a few more into to mix at the same time (belt, electric motor, alternator, switch/relay). There are the facts a simple google search and little bit of elementary school reasoning will give you.
I have read through this thread and others about user experiences with EWP's. I haven't discounted a single experience. You however, have done just that.

And to argue that the existing OEM stuff is affected in terms of complexity is asinine. I don't have to do a reliability report on stuff that would use the power generated by my systems, I do the reliability report on my systems.
Regardless of if you have a MWP or EWP, your alternator is needed and you will not get far without one.
I am gonna make a 28vDC EWP, should be amazings
