does anyone make a high flow pump? or is the sock one sufficient? for instance, I am thinking about getting the greddy pulleys and that will slow down the pump. just want to make sure I am covered in terms of flow.

I have the greddy water pump pulley and seemed to work fine... just make sure the belt is tight enough, but not too tight where it wears the bearings out!

That indeed does not look too good. Was it hard to get off? I think mine may be going.

Oh my god! You just might have found the reason that my new(used, but low milage) alternator bearing is already making noise.
