[QUOTE="ba#97, post: 1306202, member: 15094"] are we still talking a street car here? because even at highway speeds the ducting and plans you're talking about won't produce 'massive amounts of front downforce'. not all racecars are built from the ground up either. I mean unless you're talking nascar or something. but when it comes to those of us amateur racers, most of us are building on a platform made for the street. not building it from the ground up. I'm not going to tell you that you shouldn't do this for a street car, but I will say that other than the very....very minimal positives you have mentioned that you would get from boxing your radiator on just a street driven car....I pose the question....what's the point? you made the point yourself about people buying $300 'useless' cai's, so....other than a very minimal increase in fuel mileage, and a very minimal (and unnecessary) boost in cooling for a regular daily driven stang, why not spend that money on something more useful or fun to toss on the car? it just seems silly to me that you'd put so much time and effort into this when you aren't talking a track car where you really are straining the temps on the car. I mean it's your money, so it's your deal. just my .02 [/QUOTE]
