Electric water pumps are NOT legal in the BF Goodrich Tires Street Stock Class.

PS They are not legal on The Urbanracer SPFWD or SPRWD Class either.

I had to remove mine 3yrs ago..
In MY experiences,
Stock is better anyway,the higher the rev the more circulation,As to where electric is one set flow,never had any luck with it anyway..


There good for air to water intercoolers.

I think in the rule book somewhere it says something along the lines of "if we don't say it IS legal, then assume it's NOT legal"

Well, that saying pretty much eliminates loopholes. Just a waste of time and money trying to get around the rules.

Just play by the rules and still kick everybody's ***, that's more impressive than having to find the grey areas to do it.

It means that some of us enjoy pushing the rules. I personally find that part of racing.
