This has been a super interesting build thread; congrats on a really clean effort.

I do have some aero related questions.
I can't see enough of your belly pan to tell if you have air outlets for the radiator/engine heat.
If not, you might want to consider possibly installing a small opening with an electric fan to move the warm air out of the engine compartment. My thinking is that by pulling the hot air out of the engine bay, you will increase the efficiency of the radiator (passing air more efficiently) and thus be able to reduce the front inlet size. Keep in mind, wherever you have air moving, even internally, you have "aero".
Have a look at some of the really clean race cars out there, and you'll see attention paid to this.
What temps are you seeing in warm weather running?

cheers
