SPOHN'S Journal II Track Demon Reborn

Put the cover panels back on or fab one up. Not having that panel will actually hinder your engine's cooling ability, unless you plan on building a custom radiator duct

Oh really. So that shrouds directs all the air to the radiator then instead of it going to the engine bay?

Correct. Without that panel air will basically hit the front of the radiator and circulate around core as opposed to being channeled through it. That is why there are plastic finisher panels on the sides of the core support that extend to the fascia as well.

Without these panels air pressure will fill up the fender wells or engine bay without passing through the radiator.
