> In my build, that was an easy decision. An Up front radiator. The highest air pressure point in the car is up front. Why not use that to your advantage? The only down side is fabbing the pipes which isn't really all that bad. The other consideration for me was not wanting any more weigh in the back than necessary. And there can still be room left in the trunk.

I've experimented with ducting, air dams, spoilers and channels while driving miles and miles with tattle tale yarn afixed all over my LM coupe. I've shot video of the yarn tests and the airflow paths and even have instrumented the car with several differential air pressure sensors.
