That has to be a really good amount when combined with the alternator delete?
someone has to have tested this out.

A cooling pump uses a fair amount of power, I'm not sure alternator DELETE would be the best idea.
But if you say, switch off the alternator EXCEPT when braking, then you are effectively running all electric items off recaptured waste energy, and an electric water pump would follow this rule as well. This would work especially well in racing and street driving where braking is relatively frequent.
