Connecting the BAP to the electric WP

I am wondering this because I know the electric water pump will not flow near a mechanical pump at higher rpms...

I was windering if giving it a little juice will help aminorate the problem specially when racing till 150-160mph...

What do you think?

Increasing the voltage to the pump would increase it's speed. I haven't had any problems with mine that would warrent a device like a BAP. My coolant temps go up 20 deg's over the course of a quartermile run, but it did this before the electric waterpump too. I attribute this to the small radiator. I can not comment on 150-160 mph runs as I don't EVER go that fast! However fast I can run in the quartermile is the fastest I will go. If I can't beat someone by 120 mph, it aint worth it.

That's just a "measurement" eyed by the temp gauge on the dash.
