Here's something to think about, there is an optimum flow rate. Too fast and there isn't enough time for effective heat transfer to take place and too slow the water becomes over heated and doesn't flow fast enough to reject that heat via the radiator. 55 GMP is what Meziere has chosen as the optimum flow....so why vary that?I've been talking with Meziere about this pump:

It's claimed to provide an 8-10 HP gain and they tell me these results were on chassis dyno so it would take into account the added draw on the alternator. Pump draws around 10 Amps.
It's rated for 55GPM free flow, I asked about flow rate under load and they sent me this flow chart:

It's a constant flow pump and they told me it will flow the same as a stock pump when the stock pump is spinning around 2500rpm. Below that RPM the electric pump will flow more, above that the belt driven pump will flow more.
