anyone use their eletric water pumps? my car has been running hot since i started using one and i noticed its not really flow any real volume of water(far cry from high volume as they claim..let alone not even close to what a stocker would) it just seems to trickle out the rad tubes with no real pressure at all i noticed that the ports are tiny as hell compared to the block ports...but figured they did their homework and this was normal but not sure now......

well i got a 20X29X3 alum radiator(its huge) and a 16in s-blade fan and the car runs over 200 down the track.... almost 240 by the time i get back to my pit the only thing im running diff is that pump :? my bro has the same car and setup just running a dedenbear pump and running 160's in water box and 180 when he back to the pit. the pump just isnt moving anywhere near as much as it should be

Do you have heavy enough wire so the pump can run at its' potential?

i tested the power going to it while the pump is running and its getting 12 volts :?

The voltage will be fine, but a smaller wire will not allow enough current flow to let it run at full power. You could test by running a heavier gauge wire to see if it flows more coolant. Couldn't hurt to try it.

I've got one on my small block. It's been on there for about 3 years and so far so good.
