I was going to run one on my T/A one time but a few people talked me out of it. They said it wouldn't last on a street driven car. I never tried it but would be willing to jump in line if it works for you. lol!
If you don't like my dinged and dented hot rod sitting next to yours, put yours back on it's trailer and leave!

I have have one on my LT1 motor. Which is highly recommended on that particular motor cause the Distributor is directly behind the WP, and if the WP leak if ruins the dist. But I would say they're good. Less accessories on the front of the motor being ran by belt mean a little bit more power.

Make sure you use a good sized altinator. The electric water pump will put more of a strain on the electrical system.
“That journey to Rouen was a terrible embarrassment to Jesse and me, for on the long straights across France, that great bulbous Oldsmobile coupe with the trailer and racing car on the back sat behind us no matter what we did. We both rowed our little Porsches along as hard as we could, and the Miller entourage just sat there in our mirrors. When we stopped, Ak removed his cigar and asked, ‘Your little cars okay?’”
