It is worth a test, but I don't think you will see a difference. The water in our loops will be in the rad for the same total amount of time. It will just see the rad more often with a higher flow rate.

I understand what you are wanting to do, but I don't think it will be possible without a pretty complex loop. I also think when it is all said and done, any benefits seen will not be worth the time put into it.
Nah bro, some thermostats have holes in them to keep water circulating while they are closed, they also make these to replace the thermostat http://autoparts.thecarconnection.co...or/replacement , they also have 2 way thermostats: "All LT1 engines utilize a special 2-way acting full bypass thermostat. This means that the thermostat regulates coolant flow both in to as well as out of the engine, while the bypass portion of the thermostat circuit supplies the water pump with a full flow of liquid coolant at all times. This is unlike a conventional engine thermostat, which only regulates coolant flow at the engine outlet, and which does not allow full flow through the water pump when the engine is cold and the thermostat is in bypass mode."

Anyways it's a whole different subject...and I still have a headache from talking about this all last night so taking a break
