Default Has anyone tried an electric water pump?

I'm an avid reader of your forums and just finished the posts regarding electric fans. Several of them said there are some HP increases due to eliminating engine drag. Would the same be true if the mechanical water pump was replaced with an electric one? Which ones have you'all tried? :cheers:

I`m going with a CSI pump.Heard that they are very good for street use.But if i could,i would use my old mech waterpump and fan setup.Sure they would cost me some HP,but i think the Mech setups are more reliable..My .02$

you won't have a heater hose outlet on the electric pump.
