I've got one on mine and it is great! Plus it keeps the coolant flowing at the stop lights better than a stocker.
I have absoloutly no issues at all and am thuroughly satisfied with it
Thanks,Matt

good quesstion was wondering this myself been thinking about putting one on my car if it would help or would rather put the cash else where if I would not benifit from it ? 
My thought I might benifit from the increased flow in traffic and stop and go situations .

I run one on my Maggie here in Vegas where is is way hot.
Drove is yesterday 109 OAT with the AC on most I saw was 205.
The big advantage is full flow at idle and when stopped in traffic.
I believe this is even more important in FI. As you get on it hard and then perhaps come to a stop or low rpm for a while. Good to get full coolant flow. especially to #7.
High capacity mechanical are good but they do take more hp to run them then stock. Simple physics. The more coolant you pump the more power it takes to pumps it.

Nick, tour their facility and tell us what you think as I would love to hear your evaluation of the Pros & Cons. IMHO, Evans represents the best mechanical WP/Cooling System I know of for the LS engine family. They offer different size drive pulleys depending on your application (street-roadcourse), although I'm not sure what they say about drag race. I believe for a "drag only" car, an electric WP is hard if not impossible to beat, coversely I believe for a road course car the Evans unit is "Da Chit" HOWEVER 
after reading their website again I am not sure if Evans will be the best choice for a SuperCharged Application with an 8" crank pulley (10% overdrive) 
...looking forward to hear about the plant tour as an official member/representative/ven@#? of the Corvette Forum

They don't last very long, nowhere close to their mechanical counterparts. Also, they don't give any warning when they die, they will suddenly take a dump, leaving you at the side of the road. They definitely make sense for a trailered track car, but not for my daily driver.

How much are the Evans pumps ???
And what about the pumps I see on egay, claiming to be uprated and flow 30% more than the OE pump ??
Are they just stock, or are there uprated pumps available ?

I don't see why not
It is an open facility and a public place and I would hope Al has his Vette running in tip top shape
I owe those two a lot too when it comes to my Vette and I haven't been able to be around for a while so I am looking forward to seeing whomever I can
Let me know, I will try to be there early as possible! It starts @ 8AM so I'm shooting to be there around & AM - let them know too
Thanks,Matt
