I was thinking about pulleys because it is a solid consistent gain,
but I have heads and stage 1 cams and i'm not sure if I am exceeding the flow capabilities of the stock tb/plenum.

well run the numbers together of the CFMs on the heads and cams and the capability of the plenum...you will get more horse from the plenum prolly but how often will that change UDPs are a long term investment plus prevents the Cavitation of the waterpump

Forget both of them. Meziere Electric Water pump.
The more you do to the car the more the water pump will help. Especially, being an open track kind of guy that spends lots of time higher up in the band when a traditional water pump uses way more power than idling in traffic.

The only reason I am scared to go switch to an electric water pump is because if your alternator goes(which has happened to me before). Your water pump will drain the battery and your car can overheat....
On the other hand I know there is probablly an equal risk of blowing up my waterpump.

Agreed. Even if the alternator stop working, the battery light will show up and you can run a test on your battery to see if its charging.
