electric water pump and a switch on the fans, the 500.00 solution Takes about 3 minutes on a 90 degree day to get my car from 200 to under 160 degrees with the fan and EWP running. Tough on the battery though with stock fans on full blast, I just have a single 16" lowest CFM I could find fan on the car.

Other then that that you can leave the fan run and start itevery couple minutes to circulate the water in the radiator..

You can get the Stewart pump. It works great for me.
