Message	Nothing is blocked. The fan sets back from the rad about 1.5 inches. It will pull the air though the rad, not exactly equally, but nearly across the entire surface of the front of that rad. Its just a matter of flow. The exhaust portion of the setup is nearly half the size of the intake, so it will flow well. The only dead spots maybe at the outer edges, but thats okay. I have no blockage in front of the rad, no A/C, plus the front I am running is open in the front....I will have more than adequate cooling! But, if anybody has any work they have done on a custom shroud, post it up, I want to see what you did!
