Just thinking this through,... If a pump flows More coolant, doesn't that mean the coolant spends Less time being cooled in the radiator, which would result in a Hotter engine? Thoughts?

What Challenger 1 said, post what's going on. Need 3-4 core rad, unobstructed airflow to/thru it, high flow stat, mixture/timing in the ballpark, & 8 vane Eddy (or similar) pump, tight fitting shroud w properly spaced fan. I believe the faster the water speed the better & when 1 block of water in the rad leaves faster and gets cooled less the next block enters faster to b cooled quicker so in a closed system it reaches an equilibrium till it reaches the point of no addt'l gain no matter how fast it is going and cavitation will start b 4 you reach that point. But on the other end if it is too slow it'll easily reach a point where if it is too slow not enough vol of water is going thru the rad being cooled. Want at least 1 to 1 crank to wp ratio. Add the anti cav plate & best is one thick enough to reduce the distance to the recessed area in the housing for a more efficient pump and if apart can drill a 3/8" to 1/2" addt'l cooling hole in the block/head (punch dont drill the gasket as it'll shred it) in between cyls 4-6 and 3-5 just above/next to, the 2 outside bolt holes on the outside edge (make a triangle) as that is the hottest area being between 2 paired ex valves.

Or you could go with all the original components it rolled of the assembly line with and never look back,everything worked!!

That's right. Ma knew.
