Thanks Asa
Additionally, both pumps have curved vanes in the impeller.

Hi all,
Mike Thomas was gracious enough to send me some photos of the new Edelbrock
Victor Aluminum water pump with backing plate impeller. This is a sweet
looking pump and you can see photos of it here:

Itemid=57&g2_itemId=3238
Some notes regarding our observations between the FlowKooler and the
Edelbrock:
- The FlowKooler rivited backing plate with extra fins protrudes from the
mating surface of the pump. This causes FlowKooler to recommend using -two-
gaskets.
- The Edelbrock impeller is recessed and would require no additional gasket.
- The Edelbrock impeller is larger in diameter and takes up nearly all the
space up to the edge of the casting.
- The FlowKooler impeller is much smaller in diameter.
- The FlowKooler has a cast-in fitting for one of the heater hoses.
- The Edelbrock contains two threaded fittings, allowing the user to choose
what they want to do.
So for those of you who know fluid dynamics, can you elaborate on which
design you feel is better. Is the larger diameter impeller better or worse.
We didn't do a blade count on the impeller, could the number of blades have
an affect?
Overall, I think I like the looks of the Edelbrock better than the
FlowKooler. Opinions?
