Yes I wasn't aware that the water pump on the Z is electric (I assume then?).

It isn't that "some car must be set up that way". Many cars are still set up with the serpintine belt driving the waterpump. That is why I asked the question. Putting UD's on a car using a belt driven waterpump, the pump turns much less than with the stock pullies on the car. So the cycling of water is much less.

Higher temps is something a person running UD's on a belt driven waterpump always has to keep in mind particularly if the owner decides to put a blower on a car after installing UD pullies on a car that has a belt driven waterpump.
