[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 13437639, member: 11681"] Yep Race Bronco2 knows what has to be modified to make it work, that is what he runs. He may have a "how to" thread somewhere. You are definitely onto a significant portion of your cooling issue by addressing air flow. Turbo cars with poorly positioned intercoolers will block a ridiculous amount of cooling air flow. I believe in addition to trimming the foam, you may also be able to cut out part of the lower back portion of the center section of steel bumper reinforcement. The in coming air gets seriously pinched there even on Cobras with an aftermarket supercharger H/E. I don't like those 160F thermostats, I would ditch that and get a Reische 170 and the also make sure your fan settings are correct in the tune.

I would put it on full depth and trim it after it is on the car, so as to maximize the effect. Let it scrape, it's going to scrape anyway on some bumps and driveways so go for the max effect. The boxing in and managing of the in coming air flow to reduce or eliminate any air from escaping without going through the rad, is a highly effective method and is critical on cars like ours with very limited inlet air volume due to the grille opening sizes. The boxing in helps to create higher inlet air volume and pressure at the rad inlet. The air damn helps to create higher inlet pressure but mostly it helps to reduce the exit air pressure. The larger the air pressure difference is between inlet air and exit air, the easier the path for the air and more volume of cooling air flow results. This is why the heavily vented road race style hoods are such a huge single change cooling improvement. But the the little stuff does still matter and it does still all add to the final goal of improved cooling. [/QUOTE]
