Okay guys hear me out and let me know what you think.....So I had maybe one too many last night and in a monument of beer genius I pondered, why not mount an electric puller or pusher fan or two on the intercooler to help out with heat soak at low-speed? [unsurelaugh] Just fab up some aluminum or plastic shrouding and some smallish fans and some duct work right?

At give/take 20mph air flow from the car moving far exceeds what a fan can push/pull.

If would help in the staging lanes and traffic jams, but
Once above 20mph, it would actually hurt cooling.

You can use a switch to make the radiator fan come on while sitting still all the time.
Not sure how to go
About it in a fist since it may have a NASA inspired fan controller. In my srt4, it was as easy as running a (-) control switch to the fan relay.
