I'm with 383 on this
Mechanical water pump for the win, electric water pump does not give you any more HP due to the nothing is free factor, people think you gain hp goin from a mechanical water pump to a electric from parasitic loss but this isn't true as it now just puts more load on your alternator as your alt is a AC unit that then converts to DC and is actually not all that efficient at producing volts for the power it draws from engine
And 383 I have a engine temp sensor (aftermarket unit) that bolts to the head, just any bolt on the rear works that would normally be used for alt or power steering brackets but it shows me rising temps way way before water does, if I turn off my thermo fans I can see ever degree rise in temp and alarms go off at any set temp you want, this all happens way before either factory or aftermarket water temps have even moved
If I Turn fans off and at lights myn hits 100degrees in just seconds ( like 20-30 seconds from full running temp of 80-85, 90 on a really hot day) and water temp is still half way exactly where it was before I turn fans off and I'm got beeping alarms telling me it's getting hot
Can also get these to control your thermo fans as well and is way more stable then ecu controling using coolent temps
