I forgot to mention that there is a "scoop" available to ram additional air
into the radiator. This scoop was designed by Bill Fink for use with +8s
and is very effective. If this scoop were installed on a +4, there would be
a gap between the discharge side of the scoop and the radiator core. This
gap would need to be closed up by installing our duct panel for the scoop to
be fully effective. The scoop is located directly under the grill, in the
area that is usually blocked by the front bumper blade. In +8s the bumper
is raised, exposing the area where the "scoop" is now located. So unless
you want to raise the front bumper up to the +8 height or remove it
entirely, this is probably not the way to go.

Greg Solow
