Default External Water Pump

Hello All, I'd like to hear from those who have any experience running an external booster pumps. I have a 460 which is newly broke in. It's in my West Coast Cobra and thats in the body work and paint phase. Before I put the body back on it. I am considering putting a booster pump to help my Wieand. During the break in I had some heating issues.

My Wieand pump has a stock type impeller which I highly suspect it has cavitation problems. I was wondering if a booster pump will reduce this phenomena reducing pressures in the mechanical pump. I'm thinking of getting a Stewart booster if it will give me options for keeping temps down in emergencies or just keep the cool.

Is 55 gpm too high?

Thanks.
