If you want significantly better cooling on a D24 consider a Volvo tropical fan clutch, and getting the radiator custom re-cored into a 3 row by a radiator shop. With this setup, my D24T stays under 100C running full throttle up a steep grade with the AC on! Or more cheaply, doing a "citric acid flush" to bring an old 2 core back into like-new condition, along with the tropical clutch. With the tropical clutch, you'll get better cooling than even an electric fan conversion.
Also, no radiator can keep the motor cool if you have a blown head gasket...

lol, yeah, the HG is in the process of being replaced, im wondering if id be able to re-arrange the water flow in the cores... and I could always run the pumps in parallel for double flow...
you say 10gpm? i say it barely filled a coffee cup full in 30 seconds at idle =(
