The only 2 I've found are the Meziere electric pump and the EMP Stewart high flow mechanical pump.
Both of these seem to have their advantages. The EMP Stewart pump flows more GPM and is built with higher quality parts over the OEM pump (billet stainless impeller, low friction bearings, etc). The electric pump will eliminate the parasitic HP loss from having to pull the water pump pulley, freeing up 10-15 HP (advertised). I'm hesitant, however, to go with an electric pump, only because I've never had one in the past and it seems like it might be more likely to fail than a traditional mechanical pump. Any input is much appreciated.

Rick at MMR helped me a ton with the parts I need and has helped me to draft up a plan for the rest of the build. Here's what I ordered today.

MMR Stroker 950 Street Mod rotating assembly:
MMR 8 bolt forged stroker steel racing crankshaft
Manley 4340 forged H-beam rods
Manley forged pistons (.020" over)
Hastings piston rings
Clevite rod and main cap bearings
ARP main studs
ARP rod bolts
MMR 'Hurricane' internal billet geared oil pump
MMR Romeo Racing engine sidebolt/washer kit

The new engine will have a 9:1 compression ratio, which Rick thinks is the perfect choice for my Paxton Novi 1200. Since Rick worked at Paxton for a long time, I'm taking his word for it. Once I can get the motor torn down at work, I'll drop it off at Motor Machines for the machining that's necessary.
Next, the cams will go off to Comp for inspection and warranty claim. Once I have a resolution out of Comp, the heads will be sent to MMR for porting/polishing/assembly. Finally, the complete heads will be brought to Motor Machines for the final long block assembly and timing setup. NorCal will then re-install the long block and I'll put the rest back together at home.

The stroker kit and other parts will ship in a week or two. I'm relieved to have a goal in sight with this unexpected project. Stay tuned...

Ken

How many GT-H's were totaled while owned by Hertz

What were the actual rental locations and which cars did they have

How many and which cars were owned by independent Hertz rental locations (how were thet selected to get a GT-H)

How many and which cars were the Hertz executive driven cars

Which 06s were manual trans.

Is there any way to get a detailed history of a particular car from Hertz (rental, service, damage)

How long did SAI spend on each car while producing the 06 and 07 GT-Hs

These are a few things that I have thought about since having my car.

Apparently a small portion of the upper rad support needs to be cut away and the upper support mounting holes to be re-tapped, in order to make way for the bulky Paxton air intake assembly.

I'll get photos up once the new radiator shows up.

Goodyear F1 Supercars. 285/40-18 on 18 x 10's in the back, 255/45-18 on 18 x 9's in the front.
So far I really like them. A little more road noise than the stock BFG's but handling and traction is like night and day.

GT center caps are on order because that M is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
