Well the trick is to maintain the water pump housing and pulley without the internals
The main issues really related to location of the pump (they have somewhat specific criteria) and managing the flow to maintain proper cooling.
As the car sits being bathed in the rain currently the car makes 658whp and has to have 2/3rds of the radiator covered for me to even be able to dyno it.
