Elec. Water Pump and RR

Just wondering if anyone uses an electric water pump for autoX and Road Racing.

I was kinda wondering how much they flow compared to a stock pump (I know its just a motor and not a whole new pump) but I didn't know if the flow varied or not or if it was just one speed.

How do they do as far as cooling?

The CSI flows the most (last I checked) and is rated to last 1000 hours longer than the Mez, I cannot recall hearing of a failure yet. I use light RTV around the seal area, not just the ring they give you.

There is at least one other brand of electric pump, but rather new from what I recall and pricey, CSI is a winner IMO.
