Default Which Water pump

My 94 Vette is getting a aluminum radiator and I figure as long as its out a new water pump would be a plus, car has a 110k on it and I know nothing of the PO history anyone have an idea as to which pump to go with? OEM Delco? Thank you for your response.

I am a firm believer in the high flow pumps. Flow-Kooler is now making a pump for the LT1. That is the direction I would go.

As a side note, the pump should last for years.....but it is above the opti . I would put a brass fitting in the weep hole and attach a vinyl hose to the fitting and run the hose well past the opti. I did this modification on my friends 94 when she had her opti replaced.
