Looking to purchase a waterpump on next parts order for my 383 race only stroker. I'm not familiar with electric water pumps but have been doing a little bit reading up on them today. Had some rookie questions:

1. I figure electric is the way to go, correct? I figure the pump could still be running when the car is off, waiting for its turn to race? I know I'd gain a few hp too.

2. A friend of mine emailed me that without running an electric pump, consistency for dialing would not be there. Can someone elaborate on that for me, or explain it? His email is not working good today.

3. I plan to run an alternator on the drag motor. Am i looking at a pain in the but on anything by running electric water pump..? I'm also thinking i can just run a belt from crank pulley to alternator?

4. Any w.pump part # recommendations?

Thanks
