I was kind of thinking that but didn't want to dive in.

So far I have about $230.00 invested in the project. There are a number of Electric water pumps. all over $170 I really think that taking the water pump off of the belt will free up 1-5 whp. btw, that is about the price of a good cai. The only real concern i have now is that there will be about 1" of clearance on all sides.

Then theres the cavatation at high rpms with a belt driven pump. An electrically driven water pump will always cool more evenly than a belt driven pump. A cooler engine performs better than a hot engine (but a hot engine is more efficient with fuel use).

What are you doing about the OEM pump?

As for warning lights... You already have one, the H2O gauge ;)
