I think that there are too many variables to simply say "yes" or "no", your
setup will work, but I know several people with very stout engines,
strokers, etc, that have the condenser up front and do not have overheating
problems. These people did not have to re-engineer their system to get this
result.

   I think that there are too many variables to simply say "yes" or "no",
   your setup will work, but I know several people with very stout
   engines, strokers, etc, that have the condenser up front and do not
   have overheating problems. These people did not have to re-engineer
   their system to get this result.
