Would removing the front valance increase air flow to the oil cooler? Mine is this style.

On a flex dam with a real low rubber edge, my old 2.7 did pick up extra heat . I wound up going back to a higher profile spoiler. The trade off is high speed handling, better with a deep spoiler. So when I went to a front oil cooler the deep spoiler went back on !

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Air under the car aids cooling as it moves by under the engine but it also makes the car much more unstable at higher speeds (110+ mph). For a car that sees those high speeds on a regular basis, you want to block as much air from getting under the car as possible. For a car that is street driven, you want the opposite to help with the cooling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) |
