which is better stock located fan or vertical

If anyone has actual fact laden advice and not just opinion, can someone state whether you get better cooling with a FMIC and an aftermarket radiator in the stock location or in the vertical position? Or is the difference negligible? I appreciate your input!

If you are searching for a solution to cooling problems, directing all incoming air through your radiator via sheetmetal, or the like, will bring your water temperature down quite a bit. By this I am saying that you might actually take some thin walled sheet material and actually enclose or "tunnel off" the large duct in the front of the bumper cover, forcing all air that comes through it, to pass through the radiator. Good luck.

I understand that, but will you negate that benefit if your rad is in the stock position?
Thanks Kevin

Regardless of how the radiator is mounted, if all air entering the "mouth" of the front fascia is forced to pass through the radiator, the radiator will cool, and cool well at that.
