One more thing to check is different flow rated pumps for the same application from the same manufactuer.
Example
chevrolet lt1 and I think there others
Meziere WP118 32 Gal per hour
Meziere Wp118HD 55 Gal per hour
Both of these pumps fit the same application and the price is only about 25 dollars higher for the 55 gal. I had the 32 but after about 6 years it started to have a strange sound to it so I replaced it with the 55 model. After a run I can have the car back to below 120 degrees in about 10 minutes or less where it used to take a bit longer with the 32 and was almost impossible to get it cooled down in time for the next round with a engine driven pump since there was no way to circulate water without the engine running.
