Hi, how does a heater cores performance vary with air flow? I mean is it proportional?

If I had a 70-80 CFM 120mm fan, pretty low but it's nice and quiet, would I get a huge increase with a 100+ CFM screamer, or does performance seem to level out as it raises?

Thing is I haven't been able to find any experiments on how CFM of fans is linked to cooling ability.

Just for information, I have 2 heatercores, each with a 79CFM fan on it, with shrouds.
