Subject:Cooling issues?

Hi all, just finished a trip with the New powerplant and on the way up I
was running between 190-200f little head wind and fairly cool, on the way
back 210-220f with a 20-30 mph head wind. I was noticing that with the
accelerator in the same position running 60 mph it was about 112f and 65
mph 119f? Could the water pump be flowing too quickly to efficiently cool?
I am planning on a new aluminum radiator, a lower temp fan switch and a
higher cfm fan? Any advice is appreciated as always, thanks! Still 19.7 mpg
with big head wind and pulling small 15' aluminum bass boat.
