Ed,
Yes I run an electric fan but I don't have any openings in the front of the
car. I have opened up the air box around the radiator so the fan can move
air across the radiator. At Maxton, the water temp get up to 220 after a run
on a hot day.
I don't know how much air passes over the rad at 200 MPH, but I think I need
the fan at least for other slower times.
