Electric Water Pump

I've had a Meziere Model WP 106S - 35gpm on my car for four years now. The car is street only (although not a daily driver) 650+ hp RB. Never had an issue with the pump and never had the motor overheat - even in 90+ degree weather. I run an orifice plate instead of a thermostat (can't use a T-stat without a bypass). I think I have a 3/4" plate in it now but really should change to a 1/2" or so for the winter months as the motor has a hard time warming up. The only downside to electric is not having the T-stat, and supposedly they don't last as long as a motor driven pump. I'll let you know if/when mine fails me.....
