I would argue that you are running hot air from the main radiator thru your intercooler, which isn't ideal.
Running the fan as a sucker would pull cooler air from under the car, but now you are jamming more air behind the main radiator.
If it was me, I would put it where there is fresh air. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed. However, if you are running the NACA ducts in conjunction with the fan, you pull cool air from the ducts, rather than the warm air under the hood. @wallace58 if you only plan on running the fan with no ducts, then go with Ross's suggestion and use the fan as a puller. If you ARE using the NACA ducts in conjunction with the fan, I'd use the fan as a pusher, which will pull cool air in from the ducts.

Cool they are adding that to an Atom. I always thought it should be on a Goblin too...

Not very legal for any SCCA competition, unless you pull the fuses to disable the fans. Wouldn't be hard to do to a Goblin either.

Have you read about the Brabham BT46? I found it interesting that the sanctioning body was going to allow it but the team owner decided to pull it due to racing politics.
