The other thing I'd be interested in is how much cavitation is occurring in the stock pulley driven WP.

Right now, it's known conclusively that a stock 6" pulley can be swapped with a 4" pulley with no negative effect on cooling despite the WP turning a third or so slower. There's a number of variables in the cooling system including (but not limited to) the radiators heat xfer coefficient, the fluid friction through the system and engine coolant channels, the heat xfer of the block, the thermostat, ambient cooling, oil cooling, etc. All together though, the one thing we know for certain is that the WP is currently being turned a lot faster than necessary.
