Default Electric Waterpump

I am in the market for an electric waterpump. I have been looking at CSR and I had a question. I've seen one that flows like 37 gallons/minute and a "Heavy Duty" that flows 55 gallons/minute. Is the 37 gallons/minute pump sufficient for a daily driver?? Which one do you all have?

A higher flow model is new to me. I'm not sure which CSR I have.

They all flow more than the stocker at low rpms, the stocker has to be able to flow enough at idle and flows more based on RPMs which means at higher rpms it flows a huge volume. The electric flow a steady amount somewhere in between the extremes the stocker does. I wouldn't worry about having huge flow at WOT either because how long are you going to be at high rpms, don't know about your car but mine just a few seconds is enough to well exeed the speed limit.

The electrics can and do work on the street personally though you wont see me doing it to me the benifits are outweighed by the cost and hassles.

Unless you're car is used for racing only it's not worth the trouble IMO. Also I've heard that the stockers last alot longer than an electric.

When my car was a daily driver My CSR did not last that long.......Proably about 9 months..... Its not worth the trouble trust me it doesnt free up HP by that much if any.
