There isn't a need to replace the water pump with something having a higher flow. The stock pump is perfectly adequate. A 400HP car at idle produces the exact same heat load as a 100HP car at idle. It sounds like perhaps the radiator is simply undersized or the fan is not big enough. Can you post pictures of the setup?
