^This is the same conclusion I have come to. haha. When I originally purchased the sandwich plate, I thought that it installed where the coolant enters the motor, because the shape of it is very similar to the KA coolant inlet.
I had always heard that it was best to read coolant temps in the upper rad hose (coming into the radiator from the motor). From what you guys are saying, it seems like it would be best to read it from the lower hose going into the motor. Is that what most of you are doing?
I'm definitely going to fab up some ducting to force clean air to the front of the rad. I have a few track days scheduled at VIR for 2013, so staying cool at high speeds is a necessity.
Thanks as always for the opinions. It has been a big help.
