Meziere Elect Water Pump, Experiences???
Can anyone who has used the Meziere electric water pump share their thoughts on using this is a street strip car?
In particular:
1) Can it keep a 500+ BHP A4 car with a trans cooler and a DeWitt radiator cool?
2) When at the track, can it be used to cool down the car while it is parked?
3) If so how do you open the thermostat to allow water to circulate?

I've had mine on for about 4000 miles now with no problems at all.
I wired in a relay, diodes, and switch to the pump to be able to run it with the car off if I choose to do so at the track.
Here's the link to the instructions I used to wire it up:

I see that the thermostat is drilled with two 3/16 holes during the install. Will this really allow enough water to flow during a cooling cycle in the pits? OR .... Is it adequate to just get the engine cool enough to close the thermostat when using say a 170 thermostat?
I ask these questions because I am trying to determine if it can be used in the pits to cool the engine as a method of getting more consistant runs when bracket racing. If I could make my runs at about the same engine temps every time I run I can be much more consistant.
