You won't gain anything from the electric fuel pump unless your old mechanical pump was in real bad shape.

The water pump should drop a tenth or so in the 1/4 mile, if you were also previously running an electric fan. If you're removing a belt driven fan AND water pump, then I'd expect .2 to .25 ET reduction.
Not sure on the underdrive pulley, but I wouldn't expect much.

It all depends on the horse power of your car. A stock engine maybe a couple hundereths. if you add up all the claims that every item is suppose drop your ET we all would be running 7's in the quarter.



it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I agree. A 15 second car will gain a lot more ET than a 9 second car. Since you already are running an underdrive (smaller) crank pulley, unless you turn high rpm (>7000) I don't expect much gain.

But the electric water pump is really nice for cooling off the motor after a run. Shut the engine off, run the water pump and electric fan for a few minutes and it cools a bunch.
