[QUOTE="mu22stang, post: 9087254, member: 81298"] Air will take the path of least resistance. Go out to your Cobra and take a look at the unrestricted flow path for air once it passes through the opening in the heat exchanger cutout in the bumper. You can see straight through to the ground, in front of the heat exchanger. That same open space, when seen from the bottom, reveals the huge gap for all the air entering through both the radiator opening and heat exchanger opening to escape. The idea is to get every ounce of air that goes through the radiator and heat exchanger openings in the bumper...through the radiator and the heat exchanger. The radiator has a partial box from the factory yes, but it could definitely be improved. Closing off the bottom and increasing the width and depth of the air dam, like in Carlos's picture, will make a big difference. Pull out the heat exchanger vents on the hood and she'll run cool as a cucumber (relatively), even on the track. I've never understood why some go to a larger radiator and heat exchanger before doing the simpler, CHEAPER, and LIGHTER method of improving efficiency in the stock system first. [/QUOTE]
