We’ve just installed the Ron Davis Radiator. Shown is close up (front) of radiator and shroud and side aluminum panels. Ergo no air can escape out the sides or top.

Shown is same opening viewed further back with ram air tunnel above splitter.

Shown is undertray which has internal air deflector. Ergo the splitter undertray deflects air upward into the radiator and the radiator shroud keeps the air from escaping up top.

Tom,
Any updates on progress of the Z06 Beast you are creating?

For those who don't know, that was my former Z06, or at least the frame. I think everything else has been changed out!

Sorry for the late reply. Things have been going slow this month. The good news is we are expecting to dyno the car in the next two weeks!

I will do another post soon!
