Thanks for the kudos on the web site, I do get a kick out of writing about my education with the Cobra.
A good sealing fan shroud will make all of the difference in the world! Right now I've got less than 1/4" between the fan and the radiator and I'm probably loosing 80% of the cooling that the fan could provide.
(What happens is the flow of air created by the fan takes the path of least resistance ... and *through* the radiator has much more resistance that through that 1/4" gap!)
But even so... with temperatures in the upper 90's and low 100's, my Cobra hit 210 degrees once in traffic. If the fan had a proper shroud I wouldn't be surprised if the temperatures stayed at nothing higher than 180.
Winter projects? I'm thinking bigger brake discs up front, tubular A-arms, and coil overs. Yup, the Cobra is done... just never finished!
