At what point, should an electric pump be considered?
Is it an HP or RPM question. Too much of either making it more prone to throw belts?

How about when there will be an alternator in the mix as well? Alt will have a micro switch that shuts it off under full throttle.

I've looked at the Meziere, Moroso and Summit electric pumps that just bolt in place of the stock-type unit.
Are these constant duty pumps that will live on street driving as well?

An electric pump will make pulley alignment easier given the new motor plate and alternator. Just have to align the alt to the crank if I were to go electric pump.

Just wondering if they hold up to constant duty driving to local cruises, etc., or if they're designed to just work for 1/4 mi bursts.



I know of alot of guys running them on their street
rods(I do also), they flow plenty for the street.
Most likely your pulley's have a alignment issue
to pitch the belt unless its a SUPER long belt. I
have been running a alt belt turning 8000+ rpm and
never pitched it. Look at the alignment when the belt
is tight... also take the belt and lay it on a flat
surface, if its bowed up its a alignment issue
