[6pack] Fwd: Six Vane Water Pump

[dave]

We upgraded to the billet aluminum pump and aluminum water housing offered by Racestorations.   That has the 6 vane curved impellers.  The temperature difference was significant.  It was stupid expensive but totally worth it.   I'm in Dallas so heat dissipation is important. On a side note, someone postulated that since the water moved more quickly,  it spent less time in the radiator and that was a bad thing.   My engineer nephew explained that the faster the fluid moved,  the lower the temperature.   So more vanes, more fluid movement.  Better designed vanes, more fluid movement.  All good. And,  if you look at the design of the vanes in the original pump,  well, who thought that was a good idea????  I guess it was cheaper to forge

If so, is your experience that the upgrade decreases over heating?	Thanks.
