Default Why would you want too??

LodiWino Why would you want too?? Unless you have a crazy motor in the car and looking for every last HP and RPM out of it, It's not worth it. The Edelbrock pump works just fine with the right, ratio between crank shaft and waterpump, thermostat temp rating, and which Radiator you are running in the car. I started with the copper one and now run the aluminium ERA one. I have no heating problems after racing for 20 minutes with a 180 thermostat from dodge. Rick L. If you go with electric you better may sure you have the charging system and battery to handle the extra 15-25 amp drain. A 30 or 40 relay for this pump. A dual position switch for running off a temp switch or bypass to flow all the time. There is about 1,000 hour limit to most these pumps before a rebuild of the motor or pump. 1/4 mile cars use them, unless you want to be different. You will need about 60 amps at idle to power your lights, cooling fans, (1,2,or3) Ignition system if and MSD is a biggie, and to keep the battery fully charged. A 100-120 amp alt will be needed.
