Which water pump should I put in my car? GM Direct wants $224, the dealerships price would be ridiculous, and Autozones price was $130 for an ACI pump. What would you guys reccomend?

 

Get an electric one.

 

I picked up the $130-ish new pump from Autozone and it worked great on my 2002 LS1. I do not like electric pumps, they don't seem to cool the engine properly in hard use (hard use like running a road course and staying above 4,500 rpm "all day"). The street guys seem ok with them, but if the motor quits, you're going to have issues. With a standard pump, if it's not leaking and the belt isn't broken, you're pretty much going to be fine.

Just my thoughts, others may not agree.

 

Autozone pump here; been good for 10k miles or so now.
