The reason why I said that I might not put temp sensors in is because the WI will drop the temp no matter what.

Besides that you have given me an idea...you spoke of a vent under the car that would suck the hot air out as the under side of the car has low pressure. This gives me the idea to put a reverse vent in the undertray just below the back of the radiator. This would draw the hot air out as it would create a sort of vacum from the high speed low pressure air underneath.

Im not sure of the hood your talking about but mine sure as hell blows air right out. I blocked the front scoop, attached some streemers to each vent & went for a blast around the track. Every streemer was near vertical from the force of the air passing through them....if it had been a low pressure area they would have been sucked in. Right?

Anyway...I will be redesiging my IC setup & I will be doing a few tests with a reverse scoop in the undertray in the next year or so.

As I said before with mounting the IC ferther inside to create an air ram effect, I recon the reverse scoop will aide in the removal & suction of more air through both IC & Rad.
