Default Electric Water Pump, Worth it ?

I am considering putting a bolt on electric water pump on the 05 stang (I think it is a Meziere). I an wanting to do this before I go back for the DYNO/TUNE on the Jan. 15th.

Does anyone have any expericence with installing one, did you see gains, is it really worth it ? They claim 15HP for its usage.

It can be found on MMR's site.

theirs def gains to be had, no doubt about that - and I wouldnt be suprised if it was 15 hp in the upper rpm's... the question I suppose may come down to reliability and cost.

Cost is OK for me ... I am hoping that we can get some guys/gals to chime in on the "reliability" of a daily driver.

Go with Meizere if you get one. I've got one on my race truck and it works perfect for when I take it cruising on the street. Only belt I run is to my one wire alternator. Frees up more power than alot of people think.
