so what is wrong in learning the heater cores are cheap, but not really ideal for WCing ?
(unless cost is the defining parameter) be assured that Cathar and I already know this

for the purpose of this comparison just put together a 1/2" system
I would NOT focus on noise, because a 1/2" system is presumably performance oriented, low 40s will provide a good fan selection - and as you said, speed control them

Bill, I really did try to avoid absolutes when posting this thread, it's a attempt to get things moving.

Did slip and use the term "best" once, in regards to the thickness of the "best" heater core. It seemed to fit, but I'll edit that as you are right can be taken differantly.

I've no problem seeing the heater core shown to be less effective than other alternatives. And as you just posted, I hope to come away better informed.
