I was having an argument on another board about the sledgehammer and the guy cam back with:
Him: Callaway = crap. They couldn't figure out why their intercoolers weren't working when they had them mounted at such an angle to airflow that the air was "expected" to make a 90° turn into the heatsink vanes, and then another 90° turn to get out of the engine bay.
They had this same problem with their radiators too.
Their Sledgehammer couldn't drive 30 miles before overheating.
Me: no name no care
Him: Carroll Smith.
After he had altered the underhood aerodynamics, the sledgehammer ended up running with just a small slit in the front bumper for feeding air to the water radiator. Any bigger of a hole, and the engine would never warm up. Such was the accomplishment of Smith.
is this information correct?
