Can possibly, though there were some people on the Sunbeam Tiger list that
did some instrumented testing on this ( since Tigers are pretty notorious for
running warm). They found about 1 degree fahrenheit difference between
heater full on and heater off. These guys were nuts, they actually mocked up
a complete Tiger front section so they could control everything as
identically as possible. They also tested a bunch of different fans,
radiators, shrouds, etc, was interesting reading.
