I found that a clean radiator + good airdam + 160 thermostat + water wetter + programmed fans will make your car run cooler than even the HD electric waterpump.
Mine is barely over the 160 mark and it stays there no matter what the outside temperature is and even in traffic where the temperatures increased with the HD pump.

All this with a biggest tranny cooler you can get mounted in front of the radiator.

(I had the Meziere on my 95 M6)

Amen to that! Not too different from the experience I had only mine was the non-HD model. During the cooler time of the year it did an OK job here on the front range of Colorado. During the warm months it would run warmer than I'd ever seen it do when running the stock pump. My cooling system is very similar to yours. When I went back to a stock pump, problem over. An SAE paper someone on this board cited a few years back detailed the performance of the LT1 cooling system. Stated that the stock pump moved a range of about 20gpm up to a max of 75gpm depending on rpm. Wish I had seen that paper before I bought the Meziere because I wouldn't have bought it then. IMHO, if you daily drive your f-body, the cooling system performance with the stock pump is in no way surpassed by electric pumps, the stocker is the way to go for optimal cooling system performance.
