Any recommendations on that?^^
I took my Koyo into work with me and welded some 1/8" thick flat plate to the sides. Anything to block air from escaping through the gap there and going around the radiator. Air will travel in the path of least resistance.

If you scroll down in the link below you'll see the shrouding I added to help with cooling.

I'm using the OEM shroud so I don't think that would help, but I'll have to look and see if there's "gaps to fill ."

Do you have the condenser from your a/c still in the car? If not, you have gaps my friend.
