Electric water pump?
Looking to upgraded my water pump from the belt driven to an electric one. Meziere offers one for the ls3, I called them and they said it wouldn't work on my zr1 but there was no confidence on exactly why.

Could it be a belt issue. As in they don't know what belt to replace yours due to the blower.

This is the Meziere pump, they mentioned the ls9 throttle body is in the way.

Curious why you are wanting to run the electric water pump, for cooling or power gains?

I've heard 10-20 degrees on coolant. I'd be happy with 10.

Throttle body doesn't look like it would be in the way.If anything it looks like the alternator bracket would be the concern. My concern would be the pulley on the pump is only designed for an 8 rib belt. Maybe you could transfer over the stock pulley.

I was seeing 198-210 in traffic and 195-200 cruising under 40 mph.
I have stock radiator, pump and fan with 160 tstat.

Wrap your headers and exhaust, Dewitt's radiator, upgraded fans and hard wire them. Also vented hood.

The only cooling mods I have is a Dewitt's radiator, thermostat, and E85. I haven't had any heat issues yet.

Dewitt's radiator part number? Was in direct bolt in?
Why Dewitt's over LG?
