Sorry, you're going to have to do better than this. You're on the right path though. You're quoting BillA's results, but now please apply them to demonstrate how the water temps could possibly rise by 1C or more...
Hint: Yes - they will be ever so slightly warmer. By 1C? Not even close.
Hint #2: Compare radiator dissipation performance for 8lpm and 6.7lpm for something like the Big Momma, which is what the DTek Pro cores are (but with 1/2" fittings instead of the restrictive 3/8" fittings that BillA tested with).
Hint #3: Take a look at this thread and understand it:

Join #2 and #3 together, citing performance data as given by BillA, to arrive at a total water temperature gain, and please report what you find.
Sorry for being a little harsh, but wouldn't you rather understand the full impact of what's going on here by working it out for yourself, rather than me just giving the answer and then not knowing how I derived it?
