no problem over-revving the stock pump.
The coolant pumps in air conditioned Fords and Mercurys powered by the 351C were over-driven by approximately 10% . The SACC pulley over drives the pump by 11% to 12% depending upon how you do the math.
A quote from the DeTomaso Macchine da Corsa book, page 102, from an interview with former group 4 Pantera driver Marcel Schaub: “Bertocchi also installed a smaller pulley on the water pump, which helped increase the pump speed and lowered the water temperature. I raced chassis 2873 for ten years from 1974 to 1984. I won three Italian and one European championship.”
