I know size matters to some but my question is this?
We know that hi flow (gph) is better than lo flow ...
We also know that hi velocity is better than lo velocity ...
It seems people are going to bigger tubing for fluid transfer but it seems we want to increase velocity, at least on the cooler end and push through the fluid quickly.

Should we place smaller tubing on the cooling side to speed water through and place larger tubing on the radiator side to slow fluid down??

I am sooooo confused ????
