Do you have any preliminary designs, Kelly.  I gone so far as making a mockup of a duct from 1/4" foam taped together that would fit behind the wheel well.  I think it can be made to work aerodynamically, possibly with the addition of an updraft scoop, but I had it pointed out to me that putting the radiator right behind the wheel puts it in grave danger of being taken out by a thrown pebble (there we go with all those compromises again 8*).  Larry LaBeau says that he hasn't seen much along the lines of rock damage behind his main wheels, but it's still enough of a concern for me to consider a different design.
