Electric water pump
While at the sema show in vegas I saw a interesting inline water pump that is spliced into the radiator hose for street and drag cars.Im curious if there has been any attempt to run any other form of electric water pumps for you drag guys? To my limited knowledge of water pumps I know electric water pumps do add a little weight but the hp gains I assume more than make up for it?

There was a thread ab this not long ago. I don't think the gains were beneficial as to cost.

i think its more common on bikes that have a dry sump oil system. something about hooking up to the water pump gear to run the system and then using an electric water pump.
