Thanks for the input..

After taking a closer look at the upper grill, I have to agree 100%.
It's actually too high above the radiators to allow the air flow do much good.
Now I've got to figure out a way to make that protrusion smooth...


On the bottom, the two outboard holes do nothing (but add drag).
The other two small inputs (middle ones) should also be sealed over.

As you can see, there is a horizontal bar across the center of the main input.
So, I could block up the top half or the bottom half and be pretty near the recommended intake size.

I like the lower being open, since I leave the plate alone (or move it down ~2 inches).
If the upper half was open, I would want to drop the plate down about 8"..

What do you think would be better for the cd? upper or lower blocked?
