EDELBROCK COMPETITION WATER PUMPS Victor Series Circle Track Water Pumps
These competition water pumps are designed for circle track and endurance racing applications. They feature a revised impeller entry, a black anodized finish and .100" thicker rear cover for greater durability. Auxiliary water outlets ease fabrication of custom plumbing systems and auxiliary fittings are available as AN or NPT. These water pumps provide max cooling with equal distribution to both sides of the block within 1%. By eliminating hot spots, the engine produces optimum power from every cylinder without detonation and pre-ignition. Other features include billet hub and heavy-duty ball/roller bearings.

OPTIMUM COOLING HIGH PERFORMANCE AND COMPETITION WATER PUMPS
Designed and built by Edelbrock, this dyno is set-up to test water pumps in a "real world" setting that
simulates the conditions of an actual engine. The "coolant" in the dyno is pre-heated to reflect the actual
temperature of the coolant in a running engine. The sensors collect flow numbers, temperature and pressure
data as well as how much horsepower is required to turn the water pump. This gives us the complete
picture about the efficiency of the water pump design.
Finally, the information is interpreted, recorded and stored by the Edelbrock QwikData data acquisition
system. Using the QwikData system gives the engineer the capability of creating graphs and viewing the
information in any number of ways. This testing is used to develop water pumps that will exceed the
additional cooling system demands of a high performance engine. The chart below shows the flow data collected on our two Circle Track water pumps. Note the even distribution and amount of flow up to the high-rpm range.
WATER PUMP DYNO TESTS
Tests show that Edelbrock pumps deliver substantial flow as well as distributing water almost equally to both sides
of the engine. Check out the numbers below...
