Thought I'd add some info that I think might be critical.

I have headers that go through he inner fenders.  I'm convinced this allows air 
to escape the engine compartment  .... more air flow, 
more cooling.

I use a factory "works" style air dam.  This likely directs more are toward the 
radiator.  However it hangs so low it is continually 
getting cracked.  At some point I'm going to change it back to the factory 
stock valance.  Then we'll know if the works air dam is any 
better than the stock valance.
