Default external water pumps

are they worth the money and is it true that they can make extra hp where there is less rotational mass looking at buying a meziere.

imo its not worth the hassle of trying to fit another piece into your engine bay, when its already cramped as ****. goodluck working on it, when you are in a rush.

Less rotational mass? what are you trying to spin, a prop from the titanic? I think you me parasitic loss. No seriously don't waste your time and energy just stick with the stock water pump.
