But remember we're talking A's here. The aerodynamics at speed make it
hard for air to go through the grill, so perhaps the fan shroud would make
a significant difference. A club member told me that bending the grill
slats to allow more airflow helped. Anyone with an overheating A try
running with the grill completely removed?
