electric pumps are not made with daily driving in mind they are more for race applications

stewart is of the best. good choice. whats this pump for. what mods do you have. you might not need an aluminum one unless its to look good. their stage 1 pumps are pretty awesome. awesome enough to help any problems you may have.
