Having recently spoken with a leading aerodynamicist from an un-named but local aerospace conglomerate, I pass along this bit of advice. "The use of a large 'puller' style fan on a low powered car with poor aero packaging (like yours) will be beneficial in the upper speed ranges due to its ability to remove the stalled air wave in front of the radiator. The effectivness is determined by the total power available. Larger, more powerfull versions of the same vehicle will have diminished returns."

Kind of like putting a propeller on the front of your little toy car.

BTW: Whats up with the Team F logos? I have to do something soon as the paint is falling off the trailer rapidly.
