[QUOTE="rw95gt, post: 10022057, member: 53649"] The larger pump would be great for the track for someone that uses ice. It would help get the cold ice water in the i/c faster as the car goes down the track. With the stock pump by the time you reach the eighth mile the water in the i/c is going to be hot and by the time you cross the traps the water has barley moved out the i/c. With a larger stronger pump the water should be pushed through quicker getting the cold water in the i/c to help cool temps. Also a larger h/e and larger reservoir would help out because they hold more ice cold fluid for drag racers if they ice. So larger pump and volume with ice should = a colder intake charge for a longer length of time going down the 1/4 mile. Stock pump=4 to 5gpm After market pump claims 55gpm So for a car that runs in the 10 second zone with the stock pump it will only move around 3 qts of fluid from start to finish. With the aftermarket pump it should move around 9 gallons from start to finish. I have used the meziere pump on my 04 cobra with a 5 gallon tank in the trunk and it did not flow 55gpm. It fluid maybe 10 to 15 gpm. I'm sure the length the fluid had to travel played a part(tank was in my trunk) but I would guess the pump should flow atleast 20gpm for the stock i/c system. That would = a little more then 3 gallons per 10 seconds. Would you rather have 3 gallons per 1/4 pass or 3qts per pass???? For any other style driving besides drag racing the pump would still help some but for drag racing it really should help a good bit. [/QUOTE]
