My opinion is that it would cool marginally better. In warmer months you wouldn't be using your heater, so the water entering your water pump from the 3/4" return hose is almost the same temp as when it left the block. So if it returned to the radiator, it would mix with the already cooler water and lose some heat to the radiator. I don't think it would be much however. It isn't passing through any cooling fins, it is just being dumped back into the right radiator tank and out the bottom hose again.
