Hi, Thomas....perhaps you missed my previous post.  I know of two local Mustangs (driven on the street daily) that have been using EWP's for at least 3 years now. They are very pleased with them.
    If you don't believe me, check out www.ws6.com/kelley-wp.htm   He installed an EWP in his TransAm and has been driving around in 100 plus degrees of heat with the air conditioning on high, and loves the pump. He said the pump obviously will outlast the stock water pump that failed on him.  If you need more convincing, please contact me privately, and I will direct you to many other internet sites that show satisfied EWP users in EVERYDAY DRIVING.   These pumps ARE being used for everyday driving, and the numbers are growing.  Paul Conner, 13b powered SQ2000 canard in Mobile, AL
 
Paul,
From reading on the referenced web site, is it true that the only thing holding the impeller to the shaft is one set screw?  Quote, "
To fix it I loosened the set screw and pulled it out slightly to where it wasn't binding any more." So, if I understand this correctly, If that one set screw loosens up, the impeller comes loose and you loose all your cooling. Doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings.  I think I will stick with the fan belt.
