I completly disagree with faster flow cooling better. We have raced stock cars for over 20 years. We run restrictors " not thermostats " in the system. If the water flows to quickly it does not have time to be cooled in the radiator and the engine overheats quickly. Too slow and it will aslo overheat. There is a balance to flow to get the proper time needed in the radiator for heat transfer to act as needed.
I do agree with cavitation causing an overheating issue. But flow has to be correct. And you can flow water pretty fast before cavitation begins depending on the amount of restriction in the system.
