Default New water pump installed

I got my new water pump installed today at Race Street Rally here in San Jose (*great* service, BTW). I purchased it through Chris @ Superior Chevy and got it installed for a fair price. I'm pleasantly surprised at the car running ~10 cooler on the freeway. This may be due, in part, to the fresh coolant, but it's gotta be at least a little due to the new pump! I wasn't expecting it, so I feel like I got a bonus!

Always a good feeling to get something new on your engine, no matter what it is

After shearing 2 water pump drive couplings, I went with the Mezzaire Electric Water Pump. Love it.
