Hmm, Julian edgar is implying there's something wrong with them
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_0569/article.html
and a holden owner fitted one to an LS1 motor and didn't seem to like it (hmm, did he read that it's design is based around a 6 cyl heat level?)
http://www.holdenls1.com/index49.html
but it sounds like this guy didn't have much idea... he reckons he spent $3000 trying to have it fitted (by Starr performance?)..
it sure does sound easy to fit, but it sounds like there was something seriously wrong with what was done. even if it only ran the way it was designed to, it shouldn't cause overheating in '500m of driving' ?does any engine other than a holden one do that 
this guy used on an Ultima-GTR (looks ..nice?)
http://www.ultima-gtr.info/ubuild011.htm
but was not sure if it helped or not... looks like he used it to piggyback his existing pump..
price? from http://www.autosportoutfitters.com US$248 for the pump and $US135 for the controller.
from their press release
The recomended retail for the pump (P/N 8005) is $280.28 and the smart controller (P/N 8010) is $271.70
hmm, pretty pricey.. but if it works...
Cya, Stewart
