[QUOTE="hotmustang95, post: 1319116, member: 15115"] [SIZE=5]Boxing in the Rad[/SIZE] I loooove pictures. That's why I take so many. I need pics to see how things work so I in turn provide many pics of my projects to help people like me out. Loooong story short. I fought cooling issues for years. Situation gets worse when your a track addict like myself so I spent about two years of testing different combos for the best results. 1: Like mentioned above, the fan is just for when the car is stationary. Anything over around 40mph and your radiator has more air passing through it then the fan could ever pull so forcing as much air through the radiator is the key. That's where boxing in your rad comes into play. Sure the car comes with factory stuff but it's not the best being it's very soft and old by now so it's brittle and breaks easily. You can use very thin sheetmetal like I once had. Some cheap metal snips is all that's needed to cut it. I used self tapping screws to secure it.
