my temps at part throttle average between 6-11 degree's above iat1 numbers. with my "mix" of meth/water i have yet to see over 125 degree's on intake temps after the blower. it is very very critical to get ALL of the air out of the system, or else you're just fighting a losing battle

yulp!

who said anything about upgrading? mines factory issue
it's all in the water/coolant ratio mix. also, get every single little air bubble out of the system. you'll be amazed at how much it drops

Thermodynamics and Fluid mechanics folks 101.
Again it all has to do with Pressure, Temp., Flow, time and your coolant mixture. haha
Please don't don't make me go into due points and **** like that because then it just gets way to complicated. haha
cheers

wont be mean here,
basic stuff here.
presume that you still have the OEM dex-cool mix in your IC
now the stock pump has been matched to the cars OEM specs, adding HE's and such have an effect but only as great as that HE's PD across it. most fluid HE's arnt to bad here.
none the less, we have 4 ic cores, the fluid in stock form goes across all of them, picking up heat from them every moment the fluid is in the "hot" part of the system.
now if i have a pump that flows the IC fluid at a faster rate it will pick up less heat from the cores due to less transfer time.
and the opposite is true if you flow fluid to slow, you'll pick up as much heat as the fluid can hold(surface tensions, ect,ect determine that) now say it slows down enough to hit that max heat capacity in the 3rd core, so when it flow to the 4th it has no effect.
thus lowering your IC systems efficiency because your not pulling you maximum amount of heat out of the system.
even tho the fluid pulls more heat out of the first 3 cores that 4th core is hot enough to offset the system in a negative manor.

If you go by heat absorption per unit water, then the most efficient system would be one that does not flow, which is clearly not the case...
To answer the OPs question, meitzer(sp?) makes several higher flowing pumps...some really intense ones too.
i have a mezier pump awaiting install. it cost me $189, much cheaper than replacing a bosche pump every 2 years. the meziere pump flows 20gpm opposed to about 7gpm with the bosche.
this is the one you were thinking of joe. they have pumps up to like...i wanna say 40gpm but theyre pretty pricey and a little bulky.
I was gonna do one next time I had a pump crap out on me (I was on my third pump, in an 06 car), but the car got stolen before I had a chance.

ok so its ok to run the stock heat exchanger with the cx heat exchanger in series on just my stock pump right?? would it be better just to have my front mount cx or both??? Also what is the best coolant mix for the h/e should i use the recommended 50/50 or would it be better to have more water then coolant or viseversa??
more water is better, but if it freezes, then your whole system wont be very happy (and might break). since im in LA, i run straight water, but if your in a colder area i dont recommend it. Its better to run both of those btw, and its fine to do so on the stock pump
im bringing back a dead thread haha.
but whats a good way to tell if your pump is not flowing very much water. on the bottom half of my H/E it feels like there is a good amount of preasure coming outta the pump. on the other side on the end plate there is like no or very little preasure. the pump is running tho. is it just dying or what? do i have a clog???

The pump will have pretty good pressure drop running through a stock system plus an extra H/E and all other kinds of stuff. Your option B without a restrictor drops pressure at the endplate as well.
