Air Dam Modification
The air dam on my 92 RS is perpendicular to the ground. It would seem more beneficial to me to have it tilted up slighty as to be more of a scoop than a wind drag. Is this true? I was thinking of drilling a few holes and attaching something to give it a little bit of an angle. Also, I have big gaps between my rad and condenser and 4 big gaps between all the sides of the fan and rad. Is this very inefficient or is it just me? It's really starting to heat up in Texas so I need to take care of all the little things. Thanks

the air dam works by creating high pressure below the radiator and that pressure makes the air flow upward.. its not really "scooping" anything.. IMO, i dont think tipping it forward would help it much if at all....
and if you did, you would want it longer then stock so that it was still just as low to the ground..
also, theres suppost to be a gap between the radiator and the AC stuffs.. otherwise, niether would work as well...
as for the gaps on the radiator around the fan, yea, a fan shroud might help... athough i thought they came stock..
