Take an oil cooler radiator, run 250F fluid through it then blow air @ 50-130mph through it and measure the temperature of the air before and after it flows through the radiator fins.

How much temperature does the air pick up as it flows past the fins at 50mph? @80mph? @100mph?

I'd actually like to measure this as I hypothesize that the temperature change is rather small and smaller yet the faster the air moves. And part B of the hypothesis is that the act of putting the oil cooler radiator in front of the FMIC will have only a minimal impact in the efficiency of the FMIC (regarding temp) assuming the "flow" is unaffected.
