Has anyone considered the cooling combination that occurs to me:
install smaller than stock pulley on eccentric shaft to drive stock pump
at lower speed, avoiding cavitation problems and reducing needed drive
power, and then augmenting the flow with an Electric Water Pump for
climb, taxiing, and extra-hot days?  Seems like the mix would offer the
best of both worlds, and maybe some control over water temps in cold
conditions.
    Thoughts?

That makes a lot of sense to me, Phil. You get insurance from belt failure
or EWP failure too. I like it. WIsh I had time & money to do it.
