hey guys anyone ever seen or made their own "scoop" we'll call it to funnel some more air to the radiator. I was thinking it wouldnt be too hard with some sheet metal. Just looking for ideas at this point though. Post a picture if you've got one. I'd really appreciate it.

if your running at 220 there sounds like something else is going on here. mine runs at 198, i have all the foam gaskets sets around the raidator and schroud,,if any of those are missing,you wont be pulling air thru the radiator,some will go around it,,check all those foam seals,,also the plastic scoop on the bottom of car directs air into the radiator
