Two very important points:
1. racing is not the same as street driving! Evans will flow "very slow" at
idle!
2. A different pump and rad. should work, the OEM parts are not suitable for
Evans (with a few exceptions, per Igor)
Good luck if you decide to use it, let us know,
Avi

The Sprongl brothers use it.

http://www.evanscooling.com/html/main1.htm

They state in their literature that they highly recommend using one of their
special water pumps and radiators, and give very detailed procedures for
draining and flushing and (!) hot purging.

They seem pretty serious about getting _all_ residual water out of the
system.
