There may be a split here between the older/newer trads .... like many here, I grew up on pre-70s cars (and have a '70s Mog) .... with memories of overheating (slogging up long twisty hills with passengers and luggage watching the inexorable rise of the temperature needle) ... I like to have a free-flowing rad with the more air the better .... later cars may well be much more properly specced and installed in the cooling department.
