Electric water pumps?

Jegs advertises ones claiming up to a 30hp increase. now i know that is a bit far fetched but do they really make a difference? are they reliable for daily drivers?

30hp is a joke. you WILL see gains. ive seen 12hp without a belt on the car, but i havent converted to an electric pump yet. its still sitting in the garage, too lazy to build an alternator bracket.

they are good for daily drivers, just remember the pumps have an HOUR rating. could go out in a year, or 10 years. all depends on how much you drive it.
ask the hour rating on the electric motor before you order it. just do a quick math formula to how much you drive your car and divide it by the hour of the pump.
good luck.
