Default It's a PASSION

Hi fellow forum members. I wanted to introduce myself. I'm a car nut at heart and truely can admirer many sports/exotic cars but I have a passion for corvettes.

I own two vettes a 68 my true pride and joy with a 383 stroker, factory power windows, brakes, steering, and ac and I have both tops for it. I plan on putting my 05 vette suspension and soon to be highly modified engine in it once I purchase a z06, viper or exotic (depends on how business does) hopefully this economy turns around soon for the sake of this country.

Here is my QUESTION. My 05 is a Z51 6spd. with the following mods: Full length coated headers, X pipe, High Flow cats, Corsa sports, Halltech intake.

I plan on installing an electric water pump which I already purchased and I also want to go with an undrive pulley system. Question is can I do both and or is there a need to do so since I will be installing the electric water pump?

I have been a silent on looker for the last couple of weeks and wanted to give a shout out to all of the value I have found in the posts viewed. Yes it is a Passion!

yes you can do both make sure you bring the idle up, or you could have a lot of dead batteries

Thanks Dennis, any body here have the same set up i.e. electric water pump, underdrive pulleys and if so input, down side.

growth is 3%, jobless rate is at ALLTIME low, the economy is doing better than when Bill c was in office! just the doom and gloom liberals trying to convince us that we need them and the messiah[obama] to save us from ourselves, who is it that does'nt want us to drill our own oil? see how the price went down with the pres. signing that executive order?
