if i want to run an electric waterpump do i still need to run a thermostat?

You still need a thermostat. The electric water pump doesnt turn off and on when the engine warms up or cools down. As I understand it, the electric pump runs the same as a belt driven pump... it just doesnt take power away from the engine. Are you running your car at the track or what is the reason for an electric pump?

BTW nice login name

Yes, you always need to run a thermostat, if not the engine will not reach a proper operating temperature and it will not run properly.
