cooling question, underpanel
hey everyone
i was reading up on cooling problems and i saw everyone was saying that the under panel is VERY important and i was curious as to WHY is it so important? mines off and i was looking at it and i just dont see how cool air will go up into the radiator, i mean the radiator does sit in a lower postion than when it was in a stock position..... i have a greddy front mount IC and a KOYO radiator, i know the car is suppose to stay in between 85-88 degrees and my car is running a little on the hot side, the PWFC reads at 86 -95, and drops down to 90 dregrees, is that normal or should i put the under panel back on or be at all concern? im also using water wetter
i was also thinking of making one out of aluminum with scoops on the bottom directing the air up, any thoughts or comments on that?
thanks!
