talk about throwing speculation out there!
i agree buy what you want but ill pay for a proven decent pump over 1 that has a history of failure
Well I guess this shoots your theory out the window. Here is just what 2 seconds of searching provided me, there were tons of threads.

The pump isn't all that different from what's driving my hot-tub, and that has warnings all over it (and a safety shut-off circuit) to keep it from running dry.
Has anyone else dissected a failed pump?
waldigs cracked as well, so have many other members. there is lots of data on here showing that. if that impeller dries out from sitting around it will fail.
there are members on here with over 100,000 miles on their stock pump because they drive their car.
there is a member with over 70,000 miles on his stock pump because he drives his car.
no thanks on the johnson pump that is shown to blow fuses.
no thanks on the one you are talking about that required several mods to get to work and who knows if it will cause electrical issues.
the $80 lightning pump is cheap, is the same as the stock pump and works great.
the high dollar pumps do not make your car faster, you can not see it to show off to your friends and brag so why spend the extra $ and risk blown fuses or worse?
