Make the radiator inlet driver adjustable to the current heat load as you are driving. On my car I can adjust it from 0 square inches to 50 square inches depending on the outside air temps, airspeed, and engine load. From a cold start its always set at 0 square inches for the first 10 to 15 miles. From now until April it stays mostly at 0 square inches.
