Has anybody tried out this new Edelbrock Victor series water pump #8896? Supposedly it pumps about 15% more flow and provides equal distribution to (within 1%) to both sides of the block. AND, does anybody know where to get one???

I have been researching water pumps and didn't see this one. Stewart now has one but it is race only. The Evans is the best one I have found yet. Not sure I like the white metal impeller, the Evans is billet aluminum impeller. Where did you find the information on this pump?
OK, found it in their 2008 New Products brochure. Only vendor I see having it listed does not have a price yet.
Very interesting, have to keep my eye on this one

When I did a search, the only location it came up was Byunspeed and he doesn't have a price on it yet. If its priced the same as the Evans then to me the Evans would get the nod since it comes with a billet pulley and although will use the stock thermostat, the Evan thermostat will flow more when it opens.
Found this, doesn't have the new Edelbrock pump but has good information.
Ics baby, ice

I am waiting on some items to be released from Edlebrock also. The release date is supposed to be some time in March. No prices have been released at this point that I know of. The water pump looks good. I am waiting on their two piece timing cover. I hope Edlebrock doesn't freak out and impose the Vette tax on these items, but we will see.

A timing cover is a timing cover. An asking price of 425-475. is way too much, especially when gen I & II two piece timing covers range around 100-175. GM's price for the front distributor drive for the LSx series motors is close to or around what the current two piece cover is going for, and the GM piece is way more complex so I think the GM price is justified. The other one is just overpriced. Yes I know it is CNC made from a single block of unobtainium but its still too expensive for what it is.That's why I am waiting for Edlebrock to see what happens. There is another company that cuts a stock one in half and welds on lips but the shop didn't return any of my my e-mails.
