At some points we have thought that one pump was better than another, but the fact is that it hasn't been..

Until we step up and have something made from billet it probably won't be.. The problem with that is that not enough people will buy it, based on the price point.. Everyone is concerned with price on the water pump, so just changing the pump every 3 years is the way more people will go..

Maybe at some point enough people will be willing to spend more money for something thats bulletproof, but it seems those people end up buying our complete engine anyway, sometimes when they haven't even had a failure~
