Switched from mech water pump to Moroso electric water pump Empty Switched from mech water pump to Moroso electric water pump

We switched to the Moroso electric water pump and electric fan and removed the thremostat ... with the mech pump, fan and thermostat car ran at 170* at idle and 185* through the 1/8 mile trap and would cool down to 170* by the time I got down the return road. Since we switched the temp runs at 195* on idle ... I have not taken to the track as I am concerned that it will over heat. I start the car then turn on the water pump when I get to 150* I turn the fan on. It will not come lower then 190*. I changed cause I was looking for somemore HP but now am thinking of going back. Any help would be appreciated ....
