After viewing that video, anyone have a recommendation? I don’t race my car or do high performance driving, except when I feel the need.  I currently have a Weiand pump. I like the polished look of the Edelbrock.

Second is a question: are the impeller blades straight, or curved to "scoop" the fluid?  See attached video on the Edelbrock Victor WP. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/water-pumps/?gclid=COG1oZ3x4MYCFQqDfgodecAG1w
