    So I'm building this crawler build, and me being me I slap the biggest engine in it and then the cummins drag radiator (its a mod radiator), I wanna put a fender guard on it but idk if it`ll make my engine overheat since this insane radiator can barely keep the car cool.

    This is the crawler btw

    make one with and one without the fender guard, drive both full throttle, whichever heats up faster is your answer

    I don't think it does,
    there's currently no aerodynamic occlusion simulated, so unless the body panel's jbeam specifically modifies the radiator's values, it won't.
