i had a meziere electric water pump on my car way back when, but it was a full milled aluminum replacement... didn't drive the stock pump.

i ended up trading it for something i needed badly at the time.

I just noticed a lot of guys running them at FFW and was curious to hear of anyone's personal experience with them.

it worked. installation was easy... don't know that it did a lot for power but it looked pretty nice and with a fan switch you could cool the car off in the lanes pretty easily.

electric fans work well for daily drivers... even in Florida summers. just might want to add a bit of water wetter

SBF...my goal is to run 11.9x n/a on the stock long block and I've got just a couple tenths left to shave off and figured maybe an electric water pump might help knock off a couple hundreths.
