[QUOTE="hotmustang95, post: 1319119, member: 15115"] [SIZE=5]Aftermarket Overflow Can [SIZE=2][SIZE=3] IMO tricks that work good on a racetrack will certainly work well on the street. Cooling for example. If you can figure out a way to keep your car cool during a 30 minute track session, in May, in South FL, then street use isn't even a concern. Now every car is different so one thing that works for one guy may not work for another but everyone knows that getting as much air through the rad as possible is what keeps the car cool. Once you've boxed that rad in and forced all the air into it, it need to easily pass through. I found that removing the shroud allows more air through. When the shroud is in place the incoming air can only pass through or funnel trough the area of the fan. To do this you also have to move the overflow tank out of the way. My car is a 95 so the tank site to the pass side of the car right next to the fan. It's also a big tank.
