There are several advantages to an electric wp; removes a source of leakage above the opti, good for about 5-7 hp, constant flow regardless of engine rpm, ability to run wp with engine off for cool downs and rad flushes.

I bought a Summit Racing electric water pump. My temps rarely go above 200* now. It's a really nice unit and even comes with a new o-ring for the water pump (you have to buy a new o-ring from the dealer with most other electric water pumps). Only thing I bought extra was a Painless relay kit.

I had a Meziere water pump installed into my 92 LT1 this year, and took at least two tenths of a second off my quarter mile time, which is a pretty good improvement. It cools down from 180 immediately after a run to under 130 in about 10 minutes. I also run a fan switch. I found that this setup drained the battery too fast, so I also put in an Optima Red Top to handle the current drain.
