any body running an electric water pump? considering it just want to know what I would be getting myself into. is it on constantly?so is it wired to come on when the key does? I already running twin electic fans can I just tap off that. my biggest concern is the alternator does it need to be relocated?not sure how that would work?any pics,tips or sugestions would be great! thanks all!!

would be a good choice for the strip without an alternator.



are you losing belts? running too hot in the staging lanes? overheating?

I am running the proform pump with a relay and it\'s triggered off a toggle switch. But I\'m race only. I also just recently purchased the alternator relocate mount. It\'s a nice piece from Alan Grove components. Check out there web site. I think it was about $50 or so. I haven\'t put it on yet. I\'m gonna get a 1 wire alternator first.



If you\'re not race only and not use to turning on and off the switches, I would use a relay and trigger it with a wire that comes on when you switch the truck on. For racing I let mine run for about 5 minutes after a run and it will cool the temp to about 100 deg. In 5 minutes it doesn\'t even read on the temp guage.
