Is there an after market that will pull more than the factory water pump mounted fixed fan?

More info on what is going on, what pump (# of vanes/anti cav plate or not) how many fan blades. what stat. spring in lower hose? Stat opening all the way. shroud or no shroud. timing/A/F ratio in the ballpark. running hot at idle or around town or on highway. how hot. confirmed with an accurate gauge. any recent part/adjustment settings that could be impacting the cooling system (or A/F ratio). recent issue. happened out of the clear blue.

Summer time here of coarse its going to run warm but manageable but when I added the A/C condenser it was to much without the air turned on, the main problem is at traffic stops. 68 Valiant 440 auto 18" 6 blade fan shroud 3" thick 22" Champion radiator Mopar performance aluminum water pump and housing 180 stat

I'm thinking 6 blades is adequate & that the pulley ratio needs speeded up & the fan does need to be properly spaced into the shroud (~1/2 or a bit more in). its tough to get the right pulley with the right depth so the belts line up.

No clutch, no room. I do have the spring in the lower hose but that is for cruising speeds. Read my plugs and they show a lean condition which equals heat and I'm thinking a header wrap to get some of the heat out from under hood.

I much prefer the Milodon Water Pump with anti-cav plate to the MP pump, as much as I like to keep things Mopar whenever possible
