Performance with new Waterpump....
Came across this on my search.....
My stock one took a crap, if I get a stewart stage 1 waterpump, will I get a performance decrease?
I highly doubt it, but just thought id ask.

A pump that moves a lot of coolant at higher pressure differentials will usually take more power to turn (less engine performance). A pump that takes less power to turn will usually provide poorer cooling system performance (and eventually less engine performance).
