Before and after running temps

What were your running temps before you changed out the water pump?
what were your temps like after you changed out the pump?

The reason I am asking - I flushed my block and radiator, refill with zerox g5, changed the T-stat, monovalve and the 3 hoses. My SD still runs the same temp (the needle stays between the top of the 80 and the 100? mark. I don't know how old the pump is and was wondering if there would be any improvement with changing the pump. In warmer temps with the AC on my temps range over the 100? mark. So maybe I answered my own question- When in doubt rip it out! (just kidding )

Hopefully someone has done this other than for complete failure of the pump. Thanks.
