thinking about removing the belt drive and going with this, and maybe placing the radiator in the bed of the truck? Anyone done this yet?

i have thought about it but i think doing this with some underdrive pullys might be worth the money but not really ball'sy eunff to try it

why????

why????

well it's one less thing that you motor has to push

when my and my family were building racing motor we never had belt driven water pumps they we electric.. just makes sence if your trying to squeeze every last ounce of power out:rock:


it's kinda like when i took my mech fan off of my hemi and replaced it with a electric fan.. i could tell a WORLD of diffrence

1- frees up power
2- truck will never get hot while in low speed traffic
3- a great way to cool you truck down after a n20 run.
and some other things ran them on every camaro i owned.

plus ive got my suspension where i want it, and the engine is back up after the f up so now its time to get every last drop of speed out of it.

Thats a really good investment and a good idea!!!I run eletric water pump on almost everything i have and 1)it stays alot cooler--2)One less thing your motor is pushing,resulting in HP gains--3)last alot longer than mechinical pumps.I say go for it man.All those are based on the reasone why dragsters run them.
