Default Re: endurance record

I'm a touch confused. I thought the gpm ratings of our water pumps were too much, hence the flow system and double thermostat. At speeds over 6,000 rpm it cavitates? These guys get pushed to 7000 rpms quite often. Then, what do the highly tuned 415's, 427 resleeved or turbo boosted LT5's do for water pumps and effective cooling?

Is there a solution which deals with it in modern times? These cars are all still running around if they haven't been wrapped around a tree seems to me.
