FAQ
Can I use an electric water pump on the street?
- The JEGS Electric Water Pump for GM LS Engines is designed for both street and racing applications. Its durable construction, featuring billet aluminum with a black anodized finish, ensures reliability and performance in demanding street driving conditions.
Does an electric water pump cool better than a mechanical?
- With a flow rate of 50 GPM (Gallons Per Minute), the JEGS Electric Water Pump provides efficient cooling for GM LS engines. Unlike mechanical pumps, electric water pumps operate independently of engine RPM, allowing for consistent cooling performance even at low speeds or idle, making them an excellent choice for improved cooling efficiency.
Will my engine make more power with an electric water pump?
- While an electric water pump may not directly increase engine power, its efficient cooling capabilities can help maintain optimal operating temperatures, which can indirectly contribute to better engine performance. Additionally, the lightweight and billet aluminum construction of the JEGS Electric Water Pump reduce parasitic drag on the engine, potentially freeing up additional horsepower for improved overall performance.
