Actually, a car gets VERY hot at the drags, high revs on the quarter mile=

a lot of idling (zero air flow) in the staging lanes, unless you are fond=

pushing the car. We run a stock rad and have two "custom" aluminum pieces=
 (old
siding) from the grille to the rad on each side, to encourage air through=

rather than around it. (they are spray painted black too FWIW, worth 5 hp=

I'd like one of those twin fans though, my fan's in the bad books. My 2 c=
