I will have the 800hp Griffin radiator, stock fans, and currently have an Meizere electric water pump. I think most of you guys would agree for HPDE and even Autox the EWP has to go. So if I go back to my stock water pump, will the upgraded radiator be enough to ensure adequate cooling? Is their a nicer pump that I should look into (something cost effective)?

I use an HD Meziere electric unit on my 440 RWHP LT1 with no complaints. It does get a little warm sometimes with a lot of WOT stuff, but manageable. And that is on a stock radiator with stock fans. I would give the electric a try, and have a backup stock pump on standby.
