Just brain picker.
Hey guys,
Just a quick brain picker. Since aluminum dissipates heat would doing the return hoses out of aluminum be beneficial towards more cooling?
I kind of think it would be, but I could be wrong.

Yes, but the scale of heat rejection would be a couple of orders of magnitude lower than through the radiator face area. If you have a cooling problem now, or are borderline, aluminum isn't goint to save you.
Also be aware that the tubing is also better at picking up heat if routed in areas warmer than the coolantGreg Fast
