Default Radiator to angle or not to angle

Mike M and myself have been discussing the merits of angling the radiator back so we can get a straight air intake into the throttle body. The way I see it is that if you angle the radiator you in effect increase the resistance through the radiator and as such slow the air down which should mean it picks up more heat. This is probably countered as less air will get through the radiator for a given speed.

We are both running alloy radiators , mine being a two row unit.

Any thoughts please on relative merits of angling the radiator versus vertical mount??

Thanks,

Phil
