The nice thing about an electric pump are it's capabilities are not limited to or governed by engine speed. I think you would do just fine with one good electric pump and dumping the belt drive pump. As you can see, the pump I'm suggesting takes the place of the belt drive pump. If you go this way I'd suggest using a cheap micro controller to run the fan and pump based on coolant temp. That would be a really slick setup as well as efficient.

$5.80 a gallon! Man, you guys get it cheap down there!
