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?! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)

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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

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.
