LOL. Well I dropped by and I gotta say I'm amazed at the interpretations that some folks can get from that. You are definitely correct in your comment, Bill.
All other things being equal, including the volume and temperature of air flowing past the radiator, you would always be "best" having the radiator directly ahead of the block. This isn't rocket science and the radiator is the only thing that lowers water temperature. If not the coolest when leaving the radiator, then where?
What's not so obvious is how one gets the coolest air to the radiator, which can matter more than where it sits in relation to the block and pump. Radiator ahead or behind the pump generally means a difference measured in tenths of a degree C. Radiator position relative to "the rest of the world" can mean an air temperature difference of easily 2°C or more.
