[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 324048, member: 7"] the idea on the smaller verticals [well on race bikes anyway, I suppose most radiators] is to get the water there quicker and smaller verticals give more surface area per size to disperse it, thats why all the fins, you are simply working on the reverse principle of this, Id imagine the smaller verticals will gain the same heat [same size you have] but the larger in and out pipework will transfer it more efficiently to the tank. spot on Andy, thats how we calc the sizes for building bike rads, amount of water and how much surface area we need to get it cooled/kept at optimum temp.
