Question HP gains from electric water pump?

I am pulling out all the stops to add another 2 mph to my trap speed in my quest for a 10 second timeslip. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with electric water pump drives.

I went with the Moroso electric water pump drive kit, and at the same time removed my power steering pump. I probably would not have went with the electric drive if I drove the car daily, but seeing that I only drive it in nice weather, to the track, etc,.. I figured it would be o.k.

I don't see why removing the parasitic drag of the power steering pump and the water pump should not give me what I am looking for. Any opinions????
