How effective is Kleemann I/C pump?
Getting ready to do Kleemann stage 2,but i have been experiencing some loss of power due to I/C failure.
I spoke with Cory today,and he explained that while it did not help 100%,it was of some help.
I would like to talk yo the following people,or anyone who has had a Kleemann I/C pump installed.

I just want to know what stage you are,and have you notice any significant difference with the I/C pump installed.

I had the IC pump installed when I had K2 completed. I did so because Cory told me to. 
I can tell you that since I had this completed, I've noted no drop off of my trap speeds when I go to the track. Even after multiple runs the car traps at 121-123. I assume this means that the IC pump is doing it's job

jamusa: I am hving my K2 done this week and Brandon told me that where I live it is not required. Maybe in the desert so...I have tracked my car in stock trim at the 1/4 mile track 9 runs in a row and never budged off the 90 degree C mark. I decided not to-Joker

Bottom line is that these things are heat monsters. The Kleemann pump is a workhorse and keeps my car running dead even heatwise through many high R Runs. No HP gains with pump only.....it's more a regulator for all the added heat and that = longer engine life and better performance of that K2.
I think I was one of the first to get the Kleemann water pump and when they put mine on the dyno, they rolled it through 4 dyno runs in a row with extremely little heat soak. Only by about the 4th run pushing near 200mph and full redline did she start to get hotter....and that ain't too shabby.
Considering by the 4th run without it, the blower would have just about shutdown due to monster heat.
I say if you are spending near 10K for K2, go the extra mile and tack on the extra $$ for the pump. It's not that awful much....not like the LSD. You getting that too? It's in the 5K range so I know it's some additional cash. You can always add that later I guess.
Now get that pump!!

I should have my K2,LSD and I/C pump installed by next Friday this time.I will keep you guys informed as to how good it runs,how it hooks up with lsd,and how cool the car runs with the I/C pump installed.So far with the exception of a few people.........K2 with LSD and I/C Johnson pump ,seems to be the way to go.Then i go get me a M5 to beat up on.I better do this fast,before some tuning company makes some go fast goodies for them.I may not beat him in the corners,but i will beat him to and from the corners all day.

A stock E55 will take the new M5 in the straights, your K2 will DESTROY it.
