Food for thought.

Factory pumps are designed for maximum flow around 2500 RPM's.

I Drag race my Stang and cut blades from the impeller, getting the cool I need. At a higher RPM a stock pump cavitates the water reducing flow. Lost yet?

A clutch fan is working about the same as its counter part at 2500 RPM's. So at the high revs the fan really becomes less a part of cooling as your pump spins the same with either fan.

At highway speeds where are your RPM's at? Above 2500? If so,I would go with a performance pump that moves a higher volume at higher revs.

Water wetter does work.

I would stay with the clutch and look into the pump. A larger radiator is always good.

My head hurts now.
