[QUOTE="low12lightning, post: 6285979, member: 55497"] You make a few good points, however i think your alittle mistaken. I'm not sure where you get the "trap door idea?" I work for a pro team and have never seen such a thing. An electric fan does not kill engine power when running so let it run at full tilt all the time. If you have the correct fans they will pull enough air themselves to make "trap doors" useless. I think the trap door idea is more to reduce wind resistance on top speed cars. I will agree the shroud i built is not "ideal" however it is not reducing the efficiency over the stock shroud. The "open edges" you speak of are on the back side of the rad. The air excaping through those opening as already gone through my rad. But yes i would have liked to seal the rad. all the way around. But it has been "tweaked" a small amount and it would have not been worth the additional time to fit an unsquare rad. [/QUOTE]
