It we were to do add an electric water pump...thus removing the engine's accessorybelt...roughly, how much would it cost to do that? Just an estimate is what I'm looking for (like with numbers from those of you who have done this or know someone who have done it). Those are really impressive numbers with those few mods. I would love to have 400 - 450 RWHP...I'm actually not conerned at all with having more. And I've pretty much just taken it as a given that I'm going to throw an intake, header set-up, and cat-back exhaust (unless GM gives us something reeeeally great from the factory...I'm not holding my breath ) on my Camaro.
I believe Meizere (sp?) has an LS1-style water pump for somewhere around $600. I'm not sure if it will work on Gen IV engines as I remember there was a design change some time ago, but that should give you a rough idea.

I think I'd like somewhere around the same RWHP as you and any more would just be
