The larger AN helped because the pump was able to push more coolant through the radiator. The more coolant you can push through the radiator, the faster it will cool. At the same time though, you're trying to push 55 gallons of fluid per minute through a 1" (16 AN) hole. You really need to open up the inlet/outlet to get more coolant through the system. You could put a stock water pump on, and see no change in temperature, with the restriction being caused by the 16 AN inlet/outlet...
I understand you may be space confined with your application, but I would see if I can get something larger than a 2'x1' Scirocco rad. I honestly didn't even know those things were still being used outside of dragsters and altereds.
