Default [ASKED] Added cooler on 2016 Z51 A8 - Air Flow?

The added cooler lies parallel and very close to the bottom cover that would seem to minimize air flow and reduce its effectiveness. Please comment.

Some advance level driver needs to take the 2016 A8 A51on the track to let us know about the effectiveness of the secondary cooler being that its not standing in direct air. I am sure GM did this to avoid blocking the air going into the paper thin radiator and risk overheating the engine. The other option would have been to open large screens in the bumper and place a cooler off to the side of the bumper (under the headlight).
