Running Hot With Smaller WP Pulley?

wasatchcatMember

I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but is there any way my car would run hotter with a smaller water pump pulley designed to spin the pump faster at all rpms? It may be a coincidence, but after I replaced the stock pulley with the smaller diameter one and drained/replaced my coolant, the car now runs about 10 degrees hotter at idle and cruising speeds. I do have an Edlebrock high flow pump. Is it possible to move the water too fast and end up running hotter? Thanks, Evan
