Normal
Yeah well - its certainly gonna be vehicle specific as the way they ingest air & the available placement for a rad/IC is different on every vehicle too. What we KNOW is that there have been Raptor owners who experienced cooling issues w/ this kind of setup in extreme conditions and/or in particularly hot weather states - evidenced by responses in this thread.You know what else diesel trucks have that most vehicles don't (including raptor to an extent hence this thread) a MASSIVE gaping maw of a grill w/ plenty of air flow & the aero of a flying brick so you know the air is getting pounded directing into the nose.On other hand - my C5 Z06 - well all C5/C6 vettes really - essentially don't have grills. They're "bottom feeders" - no F'n way would you stack rads like that or you're almost guaranteed to have an issue - heat soak in traffice/extreme conditions is normal in stock vettes. The IC for my blower is positioned at the bottom right/center below the rad & heat exchanger, allowing it to get the "coldest" air coming directly through the front diffuser.
