Welcome. FWIW, I still use stock PS setup and fluid. It does whine after hot laps and runs over a little bit, but you can wipe it off. Some have said that switching to RedLine fluid helps, but I haven't done that. 94k on the car.
I run high speed autocross and HPDEs.

I can't answer your question. If your PS pump does get cooked, here's some options:
If you have any interest in autocross, your car would currently be in ESP from what you've described. An underdrive pully (PS only or everything) will reduce your PS temp and prolong the life of the pump and etc.
If you're positive you have no interest in autocross, the best way to go would be a Turn One pump. They are modified for high-RPM operation, which reduces the heat quite a bit. However, the Turn One pump is not legal in ESP. It would bump you to another class that you probably don't want to be in.
