Default LS6 electical water pump ?

Hello,
I am looking for a better water pump, maybe electrical instead of the belt driven one. The stock is too slow, to cool my setup, temp goes up on idle and after engine turn off, no cooling of course.

Do you have any ideas for me ?

In my opinion there are a view options
- change to a high volume pump belt driven (still no cooling after engine down)
- electrical pump (needs to get a idler belt role to keep setup)
- belt pump, electrical pump in line and demount temp valve.

THX !

I replaced my mechanical pump with a Meziere 300 EWP (after my procharger ripped the bell off my OEM pump).

Hi
Yes, I like the design (stock), with fittings for heating and no extra idler pulley.
How do I find the correct for my setup? LS6, will send some pics later.

Meziere also makes a WP119. Which is their standard 35gpm pump. "Suitable for naturally aspirated engines up to 650hp. It's flow rated for less than WP300 series. Costs about $300 less but less pumping power and less total runtime hours.

Contact Meziere and tell them about your engine and driving intentions. See which they recommend.
