I don't agree. All that you can end up doing is moving the over heating
problem from traffic lights to highway driving (potentially).
An overheating problem at very low speeds or when stationery, is indicative
of an inadequate fan not too thick a radiator. I would recommend increasing
the fan size rather than decreasing the radiator size/cores.

at the stop light, the meager original fan on the 948 cannot pull enough
air past 3 cores for adequate cooling. At least that is my theory.
Someone i met at the British Wings and Wheels car show this past weekend
has graciously offered to lend me a good 2 row Bugeye radiator to
experiment with. I will try to pick it up this week and let the list
know how it turns out. If cooling at the stop light is improved then
that is something I think everyone that is considering a down flow
radiator re-core should know. >>
