Four times the flow means you'll have to produce 16 times the pressure
head... good luck.
What we really need is a variable rate pump, where the pump output (and
the required input torque) can be regulated to keep the temps constant.
In that way, you wouldn't necessarily take a huge performance hit at
high RPM, so long as there was enough radiator efficiency to keep the
temperature in check.
The electric pumps on the market would have the potential to do this...
provided they had the reliability and power required for street
operation. You'd likely have to augment your alternator capacity to
handle an electric pump of sufficient power to keep your coolant flowing
at a decent rate
