Obviously, it has to help a little bit - potentially more important for an autocross car than a DE car which gets a lot more air through the radiators.
FYI, it would also be nice to know how much in Liters the coolant capacity increases as a result of this mod.

Your normal "steady state" operating temperature will not change with the addition of the third radiator, that is controlled by the thermostat. What will change is how long it takes the car to get hot under acceleration, and how quickly it cools back down afterwards.
