Default anyone with with electric water pump??

I am considering going with an electric water pump and dual spal fans on my vette since I use it a lot for racing and would like the idea of running the fans and water pump while waiting in between runs. The spal fans are a definite though sooner or later (depends if i get them for b-day), but havent decided on the water pump yet. Like i said im gonna go with a elec. or a belt driver with more high flow.
Just wondering how it worked out for those of you that used the elec water pump... would like a suggestion on which company to get and if to stay away from elec, what belt drive pump should I get??
thanks Chris

Chris,

I came very close to getting a Meziere electric water pump for my street driven vette . Instead , i went with a Stewart Stage 3 mech. pump. , which i love. If you just use your vette for drag racing, i think electric is the way to go. I was very impressed with Meziere line of pumps...they have a very hi flow one rated at 55 gpm. The standard is 35 gpm. Meziere and CSI are the two big names in electric pumps.

I'm bumping this one up. I'm curious to see if anyone else has opinions. It looks like a pretty neat way to go.

My dad took a fan motor and rigged it up to spin a water pump as they weren't as available then as they are now. His drag car is neat.
