I have an electric WP & it along with a 160 thermostat & Fan switch definately keep the car a lot cooler resulting in better performance... I went with the Mezier but both work fine. You can even have it wired so you can allow the Electric WP to circulate water when the car is off to allow for quicker cooling in the pits at the track....

Thanks, Do you think there is any power gain by the motor not having to turn the pump

Just a little. Probably not noticable but the cooling affect is more of a gain then anything in my opinion...

The only power gain is really seen in the upper rpm's when the factory pump starts adding resistance. So ive been told
