The pump Bad V10 has pictured above is a Meziere WPK510 import water pump and flows 20 gpm, but it draws 6.5 amps, compared to the stock Bosch intercooler pump that draws about 2.5 at 13.5 volts. More draw = more strain on the alternator and more heat, something to consider.
I am thinking about picking one up to see if that will help drop my temps in this Houston heat.

So, what do you recommend running? I will be installing a tvs1900 in the next month and was planning on running water wetter, distilled or deionized water and a samll amount of antifreeze (-10-20%). I see the texas heat too up in in DFW. What do you run in the winter to prevent freezing?
Thanks Trever. I've done a lot of research on this. This all started with my 2009 ZR1 and it's major heat soak problem. This was at it's factory 638hp. I increased the power to 900hp and really had to address the intercooler problem. The factory pump only pumps out 9gpm. Not enough. You need at least 13gpm to effectively cool the factory 638hp accompanied by a larger HEX. A pump alone will not do anything. The HEX that came with my ZR1 is the same dinky size that Magnuson supplies for my Escalade. 6" x 20" x 7/8" thick. Obviously not large enough for the power made. I worked with an engineer that specializes in cooling systems for supercharged/turbo'd engines. He told me you need at least 13gpm to cool 600 crank HP. So on my supercharged Escalade, GMC sierra Denali, and ZR1 I installed a 20gpm pump and much larger HEXs that I designed. They do such an effective job, you don't even need a reservoir, so I just keep the Magnuson reservoir in place. Also, you MUST use a water/water wetter solution with no glycol (antifreeze). Antifreeze will actually make the temperature rise due to its ineffectiveness to dissipate heat effectively like a water/water wetter solution does.
