Yeah pretty sure they do that to limit something going through the radiator up front and ending your race.

I know they do. But a truck cab would seem to limit airflow to a radiator more than a FMIC was the point I am making. Not protecting it from rocks or sticks.

Well what about the 2 massive high speed electric fans?

Is there not a big fan behind the radiator in the factory position? It would still pull adequate air through the FMIC.
I guess somewhat but when its blocked by the first radiator I'm guessing the strength of the suction would be greatly diminished by the first rad… Im not disagreeing with anyone i just want to get to the bottom of this … being that the front mount and the stock are within a certain $$$ i also want to know the best bang for the buck….

Depends on your use of the truck. Also if you want a frame cut bumper or leaving it stock.

This thread has really run its course. There are thousands of gen2/3 raptors running around with fmics without issue including me. not sure what science you want as you have lots of real world use to go on.
