No need for it unless you also upgrade the rest of your cooling system.
Even with a higher flowing pump, you will still be limited by the efficiency
of your coolant blend, your radiator, and your t-stat. Water is cooled down
in the radiator as it flows through. If you make the water flow through the
radiator faster, it's not going to cool down faster because it spends less
time in the radiator.

Subject: DML: 3.9/5.2/5.9 Waterpumps...flowkooler?
I haven't been around for a while, so I don't know what the general
consensus
is about this now.
Is Flowkooler still recommended over a stock waterpump? My 2003 R/T's
waterpump
is on the way out (weep hole leaking).
Should I pay extra and get the Flowkooler or go with a stock pump? Any
problems
with the FlowKooler?
