Default Cooling upgrade; is this setup too much?

Hey everyone my radiator has bit the dust. I purchased a New Aluminum Radiator from American Muscle. Havent installed it yet because i was thinking since im going to be removing alot of stuff and im on the stock water pump at 94,000 maybe i should just replace it as well while i have everything opened up. Im looking at the a Ford Racing stock replacement pump http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-8501-D50/ this water pump from GMB http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GMB-125-1920P/ as well as this one from EMP/Stewart http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EMP-16183/ I have a mild setup, just the mods seen in the signature. So if anyone can give me a recommendation as to which one would best work for me i would really appreciate it! The hoses, thermostat and coolant were all replaced maybe 5,000 miles ago, so i will be reusing them. Thanks again, Jay.

would that stage 1 high volume water pump from emp/stewart be overkill for the car? Its supposed to be usable with stock lines and brackets, im kinda leaning towards that one.

yea i ended up buying the stage 1 from EMP, as well as a high flow 195 t-stat. if its going to be running cooler now i don't want it running to cool with a 180 and be stuck on closed loop the whole time. Everything should be in by tomorrow so ill just have to make the drive from college back home and install this weekend
