I will have the 800hp Griffin radiator, stock fans, and currently have an Meizere electric water pump. I think most of you guys would agree for HPDE and even Autox the EWP has to go. So if I go back to my stock water pump, will the upgraded radiator be enough to ensure adequate cooling? Is their a nicer pump that I should look into (something cost effective)?

The Evans pumps are an 'upgrade' as far as belt-driven, OEM style pumps go, but they are co$tly (but still ~ half the price of an LS1 Meziere).
There is no requirement to use their coolant/fluid with their pumps, as some out there (mostly those who dis the company) think.

They DO warranty though (I beleive even if it is known their pump was used for racing purposes). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The Meziere was cheaper at the time. Only $550 or so. The Evans with ceramic coating was in the $750 range. I wanted no cooling issues this time around, and even with the rad and this pump had crazy oil temps. 320! The oil cooler should help as well as sealing top rings.

I use the Evans coolant due to the fact I have wet sleeves and it was recommend buy the block mfg.
