I am not connecting my IC system to the engines coolant system...its a completely seperate coolant system...that way the hot engine coolant isn't heating up my IC

And if I STILL need/desire more cooling...I can have a water mister in front of my IC radiator for when moving along at a good clip.
You gonna put the other radiator under your bumper? There's a bit of room behind the lower part of the bumper that gets air flow -- perhaps not as much as it would get in front of the bumper.

Do you know what known figures for average reduction of temp of water/ air over air/air are?

I wonder how many other aluminum ICs can be found at boneyards...
