Oh, well...can always find a use for the pump, and it won't be too much work putting the shroud back on. I think my next move is to close off from the front bumper to the rad bottom, to get the air to go through, rather than around.

Just wanted to report the bad news, in case anyone else was considering travelling the same road...don't bother.
Appreciate all the grunt work to flesh out and test your idea.It's a bummer when things go south but the consolation is that you are one of the few with a first order reality experience with this,and now you really know!
And thanks to you sharing the data,so do all of us!

So a big thumbs-up and thank you! Never regret trying.We need lots of that.
