Re: Latest findings

MO,
Rich mention he had removed his adjustment plates. My thought is there 
enough air to be "scooped" under the wheel well? Some type of ducting to 
below the bumber? Every thing would be out of sight.. out the eng 
compartment.
I am running a 2600 cfm cooling fan. A sidewinder from Mattson radiator and 
you can feel the air sucking in a foot in front of the grill. I do have the 
rubber seal u are talking about. I have also put foam between my AC 
condenser and the radiator to force all air thru the radiator and 
condenser..
I am not running headers put like the idea of wrapping the exhaust pipes 
until they pass the firewall.
I do like the idea of some type of scoop under the front bumper.
Another thought I have. I have a hood scoop. Not functional, but a hemi 
scoop. Been thinking of drilling holes up under the scoop. The scoop will 
force this air in the eng compartment. That all seems great until you run 
into some rain.(wifes vision)
I do have another hood...leave it original and have a winter and summer 
hood? Come on Teresa, time to swap out hoods....not so sure about this???
I do good until the temp passes 95..which now seems to be the norm...global 
warming?
One thing about swiss cheesing my radiator support.......its a one way deal. 
I do agree...plan it out before u start drilling!
Ain't it fun playing with our Mopars?
Ollie
