Reply to "Lay Forward Radiator"

I installed the lay down kit last year. I have no hood vents. I bought a kit from Brian Graham. It was very simple and has lowered my water temp by about 10 degrees. I have a fluidyne rad with sucker fans. My theory as to why the temps went down is the air can be pulled through the rad and down more easily with the increased area behind the rad. I also have a chrome shroud/cover over the radiator opening/under the hood to help force air through the rad and direct air down under the car. When I ran without the shroud, I noticed my water temps going up, so the shroud definitely works. The shroud came with the car when I bought it, but I think Hall and maybe PI sells them. It's also true it's easier to work on. I installed stainless steel pipes, and would have had to removed the rad before. Hope this helps.
