Theres only 2 options. One is made by Mezeire, the other by CSI. I have used both units, and havent had trouble with either one. The csi requires some minor fitment work to get it into the housing, how ever it is only $135 oppossed to the meziere $200.

I would go CSI. Plus its shallower so you dont have fitment issues with it hitting the fan shroud

Everyone but 1 person I know is running the Meziere.
I will be running a Meziere as well, just waiting for mine to arrive.
The other night I was reading an engine magazine that had an engine builder shootout and I think all of them were running with Meziere pumps.

will an electric wp sacrifice driveability at high speeds? I have heard that because they don't pump enough, when you do a lot of interstate driving that it can actually make the car hotter? True or wivestale?

Wivestale. The Meziere pumps 35-37 gpm. I drive 40 miles to work and 40 miles from work everyday. Most of that is cruising and 85mph at about 3000rpm down the interstate. My engine rarely creeps above 180 on the 100 degree days.

Cool! Thanks, we do a lot of 40-75 mile on way trips on the interstate, but I wanted to go with an electric pump so that I can bypass any problems because of the stock one. BTW, what does a stock pump flow at around 2000-2500 rpm?

Thumbs up

Running a CSI here for the last year on my daily driver. 50-60 miles per day, no cooling problems what so ever. I'm happy with it.
