Okay, so I got this caprice heatercore and sweated on a barb in the lower tank. And on top I am splitting my flow into the rad between the two inlets (what used to be in and out are now both in). My idea is that one, it is now a less restrictive single pass rad and the second is that the split inlets will slow down flow through the rad allowing for better cooling. The single outlet at the bottom will then raise flow back up.

So first off, in splitting and then rejoining flow do I regain 100%? 90%? 80%? How much flow. And with this in mind how should I set my system up.
