If you have X amount of air traveling through a area and you increase the area the air will slow down, if you decrease the area then the air will speed up. Jet engines have divergent and convergent ducts, convergent decreases the area and speeds up the air, divergent increases the area and slows down the air. Same principal as fluid dynamics. What you are stating is that when the water enters the radiator it will slow down do to the increase in volume, when it enters back into the lines the flow rate will resume standard flow.
Maybe this will explain it better for those who are a little lost..

ah some one else whos at my level.... fluids... I like that much better than solid mechanics

They will custom make an N-tercooler ring for you too.

I have seen this done with CO2 rather then nitrous.

Upgrade results!
Today I got a tune and the IAT's droped after a long 2nd & 3rd gear run from 201* to 170*. There was 10* lower ambient temp today than there was during my last tune so I will say approx 20 degree drop in IAT. The real proof is that we were able to put 28* timing in it without knock retard. That is where the real results show. That is 5 degrees more than we had before!
20* drop and 5 more degrees in timing = HP
I am about to install a pusher fan on it and a switch to allow me to run the fan and pump with the motor shut off. I will be carrying it to the track tonight.

Hey Mark.... did you ever decide how much you'd have to get for one of your xlarge, super-dooper heat exchangers? Thanks Jim. (when I do the heads/cam/headers/meth/wb af guage this spring I also have a 34" radiator to replace my 28" and an elec fan to add and I thought I'd just as well do the hx at the same time)
