the brushes on the pump wear out, any car that has over like 50k miles the pump probably is gone, they do not last forever and the pump is always running as long as the engine is on so they wear out.
i doubt the pump breaking caused the coolant to drain, unless the turbine housing cracked or it failed big time, usually its just the brushes are worn. you can rebuild them. my guess is that there might be a leak in the heat exchanger

i guess i have some tests i need to do then. and i dont think ever of those two answer apply to my sitauation though. because i have been keep a super close eye on my coolant levels..checking it time i park my car, and since i last filled it. it has stayed at basically the same level. ill keep paying attention to it though. maybe stick some cardboard under my car. then ill know for sure if there is a leak.

make sure the engine is cold, start engine, open filler cap, stick big flat head screwdriver in horizontally, if its working the coolant will push the screwdriver to the side.
if it is not working you could unplug the connector and use a meter to see if there is voltage. if there is power but the pump is not working u need a rebuild/new pump

could alot of heat really crack my intake mani? and im starting to lean towards my brothers air bubble theory....i brought it up to a really high speed one time and then immediately slowed down. i cant see my metal intake manifold breaking from just a minute of high heat.

well how would an air bubble cause all of your coolant to drain? was it all gone or just low? was it full before you did the pull?
could of been cracked before, could be a small leak around the end plate and the coolant burnt off before it hit the ground. your going to just need to monitor the level, if it keeps dropping you have a leak you need to find.
you got it hot enough to possibly cook a temperature sensor. you are running a very small pulley, your supercharger would have been producing a TON of heat, you need to make sure the car is maintained properly before you can beat on it, even then i do not recommend doing so

i have no idea how an air bubble would have done that....my coolant went somewhere and now it just magically maintains its levels. damn this is confusing. cardboard is next fore sure. how can i identify if my intake manifold is cracked or not?

was there no coolant in it though? or was it just a little low?
it could also be the orings around the laminova cores, the manifold is probably fine, its just the only real place i can think of that it could leak and not make it to the ground. you can probably rent a pressurization tool so you can put the system under pressure and look around for leaks, this can work if the leak only shows up under pressure when the engine is hot.

like with your mouth?
if you can pressurize the system to operating pressure with your mouth have at it, not sure if its humanly possible. it would be hard to look for leaks at the same time though

that is true....i figured if there was a sizable rupture somewhere, i could easily force coolant out of the system just by blowing air from it, but now that i think about it, that wouldn't make sense because if that was the case, all my coolant would have just leaked out anyways.

what would be the proper way for me to test that? because it goes without saying that yes, i do have smoke coming out of my exhaust. but what exactly am i looking for that is different than normal?
