is edelbrock high flow water pump worth the extra money?

im considering an upgrade to overcome cooling problems how much superior is this waterpump to the stock one has anyone bought one and realised a difference or is it just an advertising gimmick?

Just get a good quality NEW pump (not rebuilt) and either buy or make an impeller disk for it and install. (check Summit for the flow cooler impeller disk). That will help greatly with coolant flow.

The Edelbrock is an aluminum body...so it isn't an upgrade stock one

I got my Edelbrock Victor WP used for $75 in the TGO classifieds, but if I were to buy one new, it would be a Stewart Stage 2...just too many happy people out there with this WP.

That's right, I forgot about the aluminum housing.
