Thinking inefficient water pump may be the cause for all my fluids running HOT! Is there a high perfomance water pump availablabe and if yes, how much $ and where to get the best deal on one?

Thanks,

Well, since nobody has piped in here, I'll just throw this out since it's the only one I've heard about. Intel55 posted this a few months back. Expensive and probably overkill for your application. Maybe you should look at why the cooling system isn't doing the job - certainly could be a number of other things.

"Well, for those of you who have waited for this day, it's finally here. The Jay Fisher Pontiac (JFP)/Joe Prince Racing (JPR) Billet Electric Water Pump is now scheduled for production and available to the public. All of the testing, measuring and pricing is finally done. We know it's been a long time coming, but wait was worth it. Pricing has been set at $849.95, which includes everything necessary to install the complete assembly in a matter of hours. Installation should take no more then four hours, beginning to end. The hardest part of the whole installation will be assembling the braided lines. Every other part of the installation is straight forward and requires no special tools or mechanical abilities. The JFP/JPR pump works on all vehicles equipped with an LS1 engine, such as all 1997-2002 Corvettes and V8-equipped 1998-2002 Camaros and Firebirds. This pump will also work on all LS1-derivative engine, too, such as the 4.8-, 5.3- and 6.0-liter engines found in most 1999-2002 GM full-size trucks and sport utilities. The parts includes with the JFP/JPR Electric Water Pump are as follows:
1) Pump Body with required fittings and gaskets
2) Remote-mount pump with all electrical attachments and mounting parts
3) Five feet of braided line
4) All fittings required to connect the remote-mount pump to the housing body
5) Plug to replace the temperature sensor when relocating it from the cylinder head to the water pump body.
Testing has confirmed of an average ET reduction of two-tenths, and a gain of two mph in the quarter mile. These figures were accomplished on two stock 1999 6-speed Trans Ams and a modified 2000 Camaro SS, equipped with an automatic. When the improved times were accomplished on these vehicles, none of them had received any other changes besides the installation of the water pump. It was also found that by removing the accessory belt, a function you can perform safely with this pump, an additional ET reduction of 1.5 tenths and a gain of 1.5 mph was had. The JFP/JPR Electric Waterpump is a must for car with increased cylinder pressure and, or higher operating temperatures, such as supercharged, or turbocharged cars. LS1-powered vehicles equipped with increased compression and, or larger displacement engines are also great candidates for this pump. Although the JFP/JPR Electric Water Pump is an off-road design, it still retains full functionality for unsurpassed reliability and streetability. "

They must not make very many HP water pumps, did a search at LS1.com and came up with nothing. :cool:

I wouldn't be too quick in blaming the cooling system exclusively. Something could be producing more heat than a properly functioning cooling system can adequately deal with.
