Paul,
Stewart components has a tech-tips area

that has a fair amount of good information that corroborates a lot of the
items discussed on the list. Some quick examples:

1. A radiator is about 30% open area (for air flow), therefore an air
opening of 30% matches
2. They recommend the largest area radiator possible.  If the surface area
is doubled, the potential thermal dissipation is doubled.  If the thickness
is doubled, the heat dissipation increases approximately 25%.

Yep! That jibes with what we have learned on here for the last 3.5 years.
Hopefully, because of our 100 MPH climb out speed we can get
along with only 25%. Maybe less if we use fans.
