Can I see a bottom picture of the car to see the clearance of the fans? Is the OEM slash guard able to be installed?

Il try to get another pic for you, However the fans are quiet a bit higher than the front lip spoiler. I havent attempted to fit the stock splash guard as I will be fitting a flat front splitter for the track.

DEAR LORD. I'm curious as to what your temps will be with the IC and the rad in that position. I bet your oil temps will be chilly as hell.

I so want to go v mount but I don't think my gt45 and long runner manifold will allow it.

As Brodie said look at most V mount set ups they are like this, you would be suprised how much air the fans pull thru. Fans are primarily used when there is no airflow or to help reduce tempreture when airspeed alone isnt enough.

The radiator is almost on the reverse angle that it would be standard thus should interact with the inlet air in almost the exact same manner.

Intercooler temps should be alot cooler than the standard small thing they try to pass off as an intercooler, Hope to give some temp updates soon.

also the radiator is more than double the thickness of the standard Series 8 version and is multi pass, so again cant see it being an issues (this car is a track car not a daily traffic slogger).
