Absolutely. Much verbiage on this site of the benefits. I stumbled on it by accident 25 years ago when dealing with issues on my big block Camaro. Radiator builder that built stockcar radiators suggested it lessened the effects of traped air and percolation in the block. BB Camaros were notorious for overheat because of radiator size and small engine bay. Downside is warmup takes a little longer.
