I would like to hear from members who are using Casco's Thunderbird HO water pump. I've not read any negative reviews, but a Tbird owner told me that his car ran hotter after installing the Casco pump. He believes that the coolant did not remain in the radiator long enough for sufficient cooling. He switched back to standard pump, has stock radiator, but is using a puller electric fan. His car is no longer overheating. His car has ac, and the summers are quite hot.

I've read pros and cons of using a high-volume water pump. One might argue that although the coolant flows through the radiator more quickly, it also flows through the engine block more quickly. If the coolant needs to spend more time in the radiator, does it also need to spend more time in the engine block to extract heat from the engine? Has anyone studied thermodynamics?
