Plastic grill inserts that are on each side of radiator..can they stay or go?

[kickinassrt-10]

I'm noticing a lot of heat build up under my hood and the fan seems like it's constantly turning on...I live in S. Florida where it's hot as hell already, and my new job requires a lot of city driving, stop n go....I sometimes drive in the city making stops for about 5 hours straight...................I was wondering if those plastic pieces on each side of the radiator serve a purpose or not? I think by removing at least one side well help cool the engine tremendously:dontknow: So can they go????

this has been brought up before and for the life of me i cannot remember

I removed mine but didn't tell a difference on the temp gauge. Wish I would have left them to hide the A/C lines now that I have the honeycomb grille.

Some people say it will work. some say no it wont

took mine off.....i was told they were there to keep the front end from lifting at high speeds.:dontknow:

I think that if you take off the left hand side, you get a good shot of air at the CAI.

WTF? DON'T BOGART!

I would think they are in place to build a high pressure area on each side of the radiator. Doing so would draw more air through the radiator. I do know for fact that the engine compartment becomes pressurized as air actually flows OUT of the cowl intake opening at speed or at the very least the combination of low pressure area on the front portion of the hood leads to this effect.

I'm going to take the CAI side off...it can only help with air getting in....I'm guessing there just there to give the front a clean look??? my brother's 06 hemi does not have them..just has one big ass radiator to fill the grille......btw I doubt that big ass engine will allow the truck to lift at all...

Anything can fly if it's going fast enough.

 

[kickinassrt-10]

They are there to direct more air through the radiator and AC condensor.

i respectively disagree..how do they direct? i say they block,if they were angled in towards the engine,then maybe you could say they direct...but there not angled.
