They had no openings in the shrouds like mine has. Now from your comments it appears the '93s had trap doors over the openings in my shrouds. That helps to explain things a little. Don't know why the shrouds would go back to solid in '95 though. You couldn't get your temps over 180 with the stock radiator and a condenser in the way? Heck, I've been over 210 deg. at every track event over the past 2 years probably at near stock HP in the summer. That's surprising. BTW, I have foam on the sides of the radiator sealing up the escape paths for air. I think it's sealed up pretty well.

Insert catch phrase here Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,098 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Michigan Member No.: 20	Are the fans in series in our LT1 engines? Can I remove one of them and still have one working fan? I'm in the middle of doing a few things on the car and the engine isn't running so I'm hoping someone knows before I reinstall everything.
