fuel temp
Ive heard of some guys putting computer type fans to blow air on the pump. I doubt it helps much but maybe it would.
Another thing to consider to help with cooling is to keep your tank as full as possible. These engines return quite a bit of fuel to the tank so if your tank is near empty there isnt much buffer to help cool the fuel.

Keep them above half tank!

There is a huge thread on TDR about fuel coolers and keeping the fuel temps below 90*. I'll have to go reread it again because I don't remember what they concluded.
Some good info on upgraded VP44s. Most reputable shops will probably do the same.
