Ok right now I'm getting a return water temp of 43.8C. Thats with a MCW462-UHT, Eheim 1250, Super Cube radiator and a 4x4x4 res. Would it help if I added a heatercore after the waterblock. Cause right now just with this set-up my compnurse is reading 23.1 idle for my 1.1@1.54 T-Bird.

You'd probably benefit MORE if you removed the super cube and replaced it with a heater core, I wouldn't run both together, the cube is soooooo restrictive.

I was affraid of that. There goes $70+.

hmm you can leave the cube and get a heatercore, you just would have to run the radiators in series instead of parrallel, Im doing that right now with 2 rads and its working great, it alows you to get a greater flow through the waterblock and a slower flow through the rads so it benefits almost 2x better. With that pump you should have a great flow rate and awesome cooling.

Ok with speakers I know the diff between series and parrallel. However with rads and water cooling I have the fogest. Whats the diff and how do I do it.

parrellel is when you run the rads right after either other and in series you get a Y spliter and split the water up to go into the rads, here I will make a simple diagram.

Umm, that's backwards. Parallel requires splitters, series doesn't.

So would I run them in a Y or one right after the other.

*sigh* now I got you confused:(

the one with the Y would work almost 2x better thin the one thats side by side.
