Thanks Aero, but I think you misunderstood. I'm looking to have my dam farther BACK from the inlet. So there would be a gap of a few inches between the inlet and the dam; the dam would not be directly at the rear of the inlet. Will the dam still create cooling flow in this set-up or does it HAVE to be right behind the inlet?
