Electri Water Pump...?
I anybody here running an electric water pump? I know they save quite a bit of HP, but do they work well on the street in a 450-500 hp engine?

I run a Meziere pump for years on my street racer. Works great. I like the fact it circulates the water at the equivalent of 3000RPMs at idle

Do you have a heater? Do you use the high flow model? Any pics? I like the looks of the pump. Thanks

Run a CSR pump on our 427 in the 55 belair, with a stock 1955 radiator! It keeps it cool, at 11:1 compression, 5000 stall and 4.71 gears.

The reason we run it is mostly for the ability to cool the car when it is shut off (between rounds) or after a cruise.
The few horspower is just a bonus!1971 Camaro 427 in waiting

I run a Meziere on my Camaro. I drilled and tapped it so that the heater hose can connect to it.

I also run a Meziere high flow pump on my 500+ HP 385 LT1. It is street driven, but not a daily driver. I know of several daily drivers with this combo though.
