Tilting it backwards DECREASES the size of the hole the air needs to pass thru.
ANd if the nose isn't sealed,the MAJORITY of th air goes over the face of the radiator and in to the engine compartment.

Recently built two 70 Chargers.BOth 440 cars.Used Griffin rads in both.On a 90 degree day,on "break-in" temps never rose above 200 degrees.Quality product.Expect to pay around 5 bills.
