On the Triumph mailing list someone mentioned that Ken Gillanders of British Frame and Engine has a water pump with hooked impellers designed to flow more water through the system for $140.

My question is this.
It appears to be the common consensus that removing the thermostat allows the water to flow too quickly through the radiator and doesn't give it the chance to cool down efficiently.
So if you put a water pump that increases flow aren't you doing the same thing?
Is this 6 blade impeller something you'd only want in a high RPM racing engine since at some point you are wanting to defeat cavitation from the wimpy orignial design?
