Bob and FOT,

The negative pressure created by a front spoiler can also greatly improve
the airflow through the radiator.  A very small spoiler of about 2" depth
extending the width of the radiator opening at the leading edge of the
bottom of the radiator kept my TR4 at about 190 degrees on the hottest
Florida race days.

It sure seemed to make a difference when we put one on
Chip Bond's car.
