Homemade Ram-Air--Problems w/ not getting enough air to radiator?
Just took out my fog lights on the IROC the other day and was thinking about doing the homemade ram-air. But after looking at it, I was wondering if enough air still gets to the radiator? Does that air dam under the car really get enough air up to the radiator or does it need some air coming through where the fog lights were? Anybody had any problems w/ running hot after doing the ram-air?

Take off your airdam and take out your foglights and ride around a while like that to see just how little that passageway really does.
The airdam is what does the majority of the work, so your plan shouldn't really hurt cooling any.

I hope it does something since I don't have any holes in the front of my GTA.
