does anyone know how well a "cylindrical radiator would work? Basically what i'm asking is if i got a couple different sizes of aluminium pipe from say 6-8"
all the way down to say 1.5"(being the size of the coolant line out of the radiator) pipe in 1" increments and put them inside one another, running a channel around them in a spiral front to back with added fins for cooling. would it give more cooling then the radiator or no?? i'm thinking that by cooling the coolant to a lower temperature can give far better temperature control then what they have now. I've measure a temperature difference of only about 30-40 degrees from the in to the out(and the coolant is only in the radiator for about 24") of a radiator on my jeep, so i'm thinking if you could double that it would be better.

so to summarize i'm talking about trying to run the area of a 1.5" pipe around 4-5 other pipes in order to increase the coolants over all time in the "radiator" from 24" to as high as 6-8' or more.
