Yah Krawlin, I actually put a system in my chevelle with a moroso pump that only cycled when the coolant hit 185'f then off again at 160'f. Cured the heating problems I was getting just running a restrictor plate for a t-stat and the standard water pump. It would usually be on for about 15 seconds then off for ~2 minutes at idle. I put the temp switch in a PVC pipe thread adapter from 3/4 to 3/8" in the cylinder head to keep it reading the coolant vs the temp of the head itself. Never got hot running from LA to Vegas in 2-1/2 hours...

Good call on the info though :-)
