Not only heat issues, but amp draw issues @ idle. I'd go with a belt driven 6 blade modified pump - disc welded to the blades.
A/C pumps have 8 blades I think. And no, I wouldn't use the Moroso drive on the street. Even if it kept it cool, what if that little belt broke?!

From my experience, the moroso water pump drives will not keep it cool on the street. I've never tried it on anything under 600 hp though.

it is actually counter intuitive. it is 6 for a/c but it is because the use a smaller pump pulley so it spins faster.
The 8 blade is non-a/c and it uses a larger pulley so it spins slower.
