trularin: An electric pump must CONSTANTLY operate while the engine is running....period. T-stats control temps, not pumps.

Rick Lake: amp draw is not that high, about 6-9 amps, and the electric motor is said to last 2500-3300 hrs depending on which model you get.

For the street, I think the e-pump will work just fine, it pumps way more water at idle than any mechanical pump ever could. For the track, keep a close eye on your water temp, and if it's getting too hot, change over to a good mechanical pump.
