What kinda sucks (ha) is even with that setup, the radiator itself radiates (ha) enough infra-red heat that it'll heat all the surfaces in front of the radiator so that when you're not at speed, it'll cause convection and you'll still suck (ha again) hot air. The only way to get around all of this is to have the intake draw from a true fresh air source, a big ***, gnarly scoop, and have everything else in the intake tract heavily insulated. This is how supercars do it, for good reason. |
