Default HP from elect water pump

JMX reported a 6rwhp gain...is that about it or did anyone else get more or less?

I dont think I even got that much.

I did other things at the time so I am not sure.

I also did many other mods at the same time so I don't know, but I find it doubtful that you will pick up 6 RWHP. Even if you did, it wouldn't be the best bang for the buck if you were only concerned with the HP gains. The real advantage is cooling not HP IMO. If I was forced to guess, I would safely say 3 RWHP is more realistic.

There's been some locals that got 10+ on the dyno (not same day), others that got 4-5, thunder racing tested several cars and 6 was their average from what I recall. The dyno graph on my site is representative of an average car.
