[QUOTE="CHASMAN9, post: 612297, member: 307"] Blown heat is not always relieved by just redirecting the flow, but you need to give it a larger area for relief. It is a combination of both distance and angle. You can space it out, but if you do not angle the flow it will simply just blow right on the same surface constantly being your fuel cell. I have battled this same problem with my buggy and finally I pulled the seats out and relocated the radiator 4" closer to the seats and slightly angled the radiator. I did not want to bring the heat closer to myself, but it left me no choice. I'm now running about 6" clearance between my fuel cell and the radiator and it will still heat up at times. I have even used the heat reflective tape on my tank from Summit, it does give it some relief, but not a whole lot. Get your distance and angles right now so whatever you end up with, it will give you clearance and direct the air flow out of the way. If you do not address it now, you WILL later and it will be twice as expensive. thumb.gif [/QUOTE]
