[Supras] Best intercooler ambient airflow alternative

[cthommes at adelphia.net]

Bernie,
Keep the undercover.  You've already done yourself a huge favor by increasing thermal efficiency and reducing charge pressure drop with your i/c upgrade.  Don't shoot yourself in the foot now by crippling your cooling system!  Is it worth it for an additional what, 5-10 degree F charge air cooling (tops)?
