mine sees duty as you want, I run the meziere, more money, but well worth it, I put it on to free up my acessories and reduce track cool down time, just make sure you have a good alt

I run a 180, it stays at 180 except when it comes to a stop then after a few minutes it climbs to 205-210 which is where my thermostatic switch turns the fan on and cools it right back down to 180, yes it is driven on the street, but not much right now, at 4.20 a gallon she gets mighty thirsty, but last time it was out was April 30th for our track day and I drove it to the track ran 5-6 runs and drove it back home, track is 20 miles from me

it's the meziere pump with the built in idler so the stock belt configuration can be maintained, that's all it does , it acts as an idler, the elec motor is behind it.
