That's what I was thinking too. I went and looked at fuel pump flows just to verify that hunch... anyway, as for water pumps, I'm guessing the flow rates designed to cool an engine twice the size of ours putting out 2-3 times the power should be adequate to cool a little v6 despite being crammed into a little shoe box behind the seats with no appreciable airflow to speak of.

And I don't have to worry about it ever turning into a "milling machine" or confetti cannon!
