water pump

[jete]

Should i upgrade my water pump for a street application? Im pretty mean to my car and Im wondering if it will be worth it.

If cooling issues are your concern, I would think about a thicker radiator, a lower temp thermostat (180* for N/A), and possibly a new fan clutch or e-fan.

I wouldn't worry too much about your water pump unless you NEED to change it. Changing the thermostat was the first step I did in my e-fan upgrade, and my temp needle never even got to the mid point on the stock gauge. Before the upgrades it sat a hair above mid point at normal operating temp.

I have a stock radiator, e-fan, stock water pump, and 180* thermostat...in South Florida..and I never see the needle go above mid. Even when I was at the track on a 99* day, hot lapping, It would rise a hair above normal temp at the end of each run, but was back below mid by the time I reached the slip tower.

Though quite lacking in info, IMHO a high-po water pump isnt really needed. That said, I have a Stewart waiting to go in the '94.

Good luck.
