I do not know what vehicle that the 3.75" thick core came out of.  I hope Rusty has the answer.  I am also thinking the same way in that a properly designed duct will increase the efficiency of using the core instead of a thin radiator.  My duct will run from the landing brake back past the firewall about 3 feet.  It expands to the full width of the coolers.  The RVs are successful with their short ducts so I am wondering how small length X width or how thick is optimum when a longer duct is used.  Where in the strake are you locating it?   Are you building a Cozy?

Joe, what did the 3.75" thick core come out of.  My
plan is to locate the rad remotely in the wing
strake.  Along with some beneficial W&B
considerations, this will allow me to build a full
length streamline duct.  The way I understand it,
the thicker core will be more beneficial with the
higher pressure that the full duct produces.
