water pump
What water pumps are you high horsepower guys using? Positives and negatives on the pumps?
I am contemplating on a change due to my original one is slowly weeping out (weep hole)....not time yet, but just thought I would get inputs from everyone. Thanks.

DC,
I am running a MEZIRE - Electric Water Pump w/180* Thermostat
Some do not like them for FI but I don't sustain it under BOOST or Track the Vette so the EWP works perfect for me - on HOT days no higher than 192* @ a light in traffic the other day, and it was 96* outside - started to drive and back down to 183*
Thanks,Matt

In my opinion, the Evans pump, Model EP30913, is the only pump worth considering for high RPM, high load applications. Why?
• Heavy duty ceramic seal
• 8 vanes eliminate high RPM cavitation
• Superior flow ensures water moving in and around cylinders # 7 & 8
• Heavy duty hub bearing to support additional loading with SC apps
• Hard Anodized, billet hub eliminates belt wear and promotes grip
• Optional ceramic coating defeats corrosion and build-up
You asked and there is the detail....

Honestly, We live in some of the hottest climates in the country...
I have had no issues with the stock pump (even better if using an overdrive pulley). Although, if your running an U/D crank pulley, i prefer the EWC.
But I have found no need for the evans. I switched to an EWP for a whaile, but got rid of it because it did nothing for my temps, other than **** me off for wasdting my $$..

I run a factory LS2 pump. Out here in the Vegas heat, it tends to work just fine. I found no reason to change. We've run to 1000rwhp, and 7400 rpm's

DC,
I am using the MEZIERE Electric Water Pump - with a 180 Stat and a Dewitts Dual Core Aluminum Radiator!
Most do not like to use EWP's on SuperCharged Vettes - But I do not Road Race or beat on the Vette and this summer I have had no cooloing issues at all, and especially since I went back to the factory fans:tgumbs:
At a light it is as cool as could be.
Thanks,Matt

I like the Meziere unit. I wish I would have never sold mine. Its just the electric part that scares me.

My car has less than 30K miles on it and the stock pump is leaking. I drive it spirited once in a while, but nothing crazy. This pump is junk, as are most factory pumps. Yeah, I could have an early life failure... I had this same kind of stuff happen on a different brand performance motor and eventually ended up with an edelbrock victor series pump, which cured my problems for good.

The main advantage is 100% flow even in stop and go traffic.
The electric concern should be no more then your concern over the electric fans. I did solder the connections with and used heat shrink.

Notice where I said "I wish I never sold it"
It worked EXACTLY like my stock pump as I stated. But since I spent a fortune on it, and it did nothing for my temps, I sold it so I could re-coupe my money. Unfortunately, I sold it for 350 bucks (polished). So in the end, it was a nice pump that I wished I hadn't sold (and lost my azz) If you can find a smoking deal, then do it. If you have to pay 600-700 bucks.. Heck no.h
Would I buy one again?? No
Do I wish I hadn't sold mine?? Yes..
Are they worth the money for the money spent??? Not in my opinion.
Is there any other posts you wish to disect of mine?
