John,
I'm with Ed. The electric water pump may work in a low duty cycle application, but not in a high duty cycle application like an aircraft engine. Trying to cool a high power, high duty cyle application with an electric pump and expecting to gain power in the process sounds an awful lot like a perpetual motion machine to me.
I've read Hot Rod for 30 years and have always enjoyed it. But if I applied all of the tricks like this that I've read about over the years, I'd be able to build a 1000HP small block Chevy using only bolt on parts (sold by Hot Rod advertisers) for less than $2000. :-)

There is an article in hot rod mag this month that says an electric water
pump has made gains of 40 hp, it states that it takes less power to run an
alternator than a pump and units can be fabricated from universal units from
hot rod supply houses. JohnD
