Becaureful of reducing the pump speed due to cavitation. As a reduction of water flow. Combined with a hotter motor can lead to overheating when your playing with it on the track.

I ran into this problem with a standard size sbc water pump when driving high speeds for 30+ minutes going to Vegas. Where as my alternator could give me issues on the street if it was to stop, and go. When it never had the issue before.

I have played with items like wetter water in the past, and like them. So I would suggest you give it a look, and ask someone more knowledgeable on pumps.
