Electric water pump

[97GT4.6]

My friend tyler suggested getting an electric water pump to reduce engine accessory drag. I know this will help free up my car, but i don't know much else about it. How many of you guys have em? What brands, and where should i buy em?


These don't seem to be all that popular.

Thanks

electric waterpumps have a life span, they dont last nearly as long as a convential pump, nor do they free up a whole lot on a street car while costing a pretty good amount, a good an trusted name is meizer (spelling)

Alright, sounds more like an item, that if i can find cheap, ill get it. My new engine setup is going to be around 300 horsepower N/a and its going to be sprayed.

300 horse without spray? What do you plan on doing?

just becareful they have a short lifespan.... like limited to a certain # of hours of use.... its for a drag setup only useually

The meziere is a good pump but not cheap, they will last a good amount of hours and years from most i have seen. I was afraid to get one myself though
