can u run electric water pump in 10.50index,true street,sfwd classes? dont wanna spend 400 bucks on a pump that will get me disqualified

 

Maybe in 10.5 index, but not in SFWD or true street.

 

any reason against it?

 

The stock pump on the side of your block creates a small amount of drag on the engine. Going with the electric obviously eliminates that drag. All of the T/S, SFWD guys do it without the use of these pumps, It's kinda like beign able to run a great 60' without wheelie bars. If it can be done without that extra step and still go fast then go for it.

 

i think listing what sanctioning body you wish to run would help answer this question because you just got 2 differant answers from 2 differant parts of the country

 

maryland, new jearsey are my main tracks

 

10.50 index is definitely ok...and I just looked at rules for 2011 on MIRs and street fighter and true street didn't say anything about electric water pumps being illegal...unless I skimmed too quickly and missed

we've used them in sfwd cars with no issues in tech. it seems to be a grey area, but we are running them again this year on all of the cars.

 

they are fine. taking a water pump off will not give you any true gain worthwhile in a turbo car Doesnt matter. It helps keep the engine cooler than a stock pump could ever do. I could care less what rules say, Ill run it to save my motor.

 

Im with this guy ^^^^

 

We have been putting electric water pumps on all our cars. SFWD, All Motor, 10.50, 11.50.

 

Yes
