The Meziere flows 35 GPM. It keeps my engine NICE and COOL, at all times. I am getting a 2nd car in two weeks, so it'll be nice, I won't be taking it on long trips, so the WP going out isn't a huge concern of mine at this moment. I also know the water pump is rated for 2500 hours. I wouldn't have done it if it was going to be my only car. Also, if I'm curious if it is working or not, all I have to do is shut off my car and i can pop my hood and hear the motor going and the water circulating.
One of the coolest things about the Elec WP is that combined w/ my SLP fan switch, w/ my keys in the "on" position, I can have my fans on high, and my WP circulating the coolant, so I cool my engine off extremely fast after my car shuts off. I love that feature. Between passes at the track, my engine will cool down much faster than everyone elses, that's an advantage since we have a metal intake. Less heat soak. They're dynoing 10 rwhp and 11 ft/ lbs (also rear) on mostly stock cars. I'd go for the Meziere Elec if it's not a long trip car. Less stress on the 1st cam bearing. Don't need a heavy duty timing chaing, etc. There are advantages as well as disadvantages.
