If its just a race car YES if its a street car NO. I would rather lose a little power than overheat my engine. They make "street " pumps but they are expensiveIf you have a belt driven fan you might want to look into a good electric fan and free up a little hp.

I love my electric pump....don't know what I did without it =). But my car is pretty much track only.
