Well ever since my opti took a dump on me, reliability is something I am big on.

Thanks

Wink

i put one vote in for the electric water pump

if it lasts you 2500 hours then that would be around 80K-120K miles.......plus its not as likely to dump on your opti.....and you cant forget the extra ten HP....just make sure you keep an eye on the temp and youll be fine.

Yes CSI is on top, and my friend knows electronics pretty good and will wire me up a nice warning system.

Dan, what ever do you mean? Youngstown is such a nice place to live sure we lost to Detroit again for most homicides, but this year I think we can win per capa

Well from what I understand mechanical is the safest until it drenches your opti..so um I am still kinda on the fence.. I guess its just a matter of if I drive striaght to the dealer and back or the truck pulls to the right and off Rt 76 to Summit. Thanks for all the input guys I really appriciate it.
