From my understanding and logic I wouldn’t think the v mount would be any less efficient than a traditional stock vertical set up.
The air coming in thru the bumper will go thru the radiator and draft directly into the airflow underneath the car instead of being pushed into the engine bay while the air traveling past the intercooler will be diverted out of the hood vents. ( I’ll be adding ducting thruout)
Formula D cars run the radiator in the trunk but I can’t see myself doing that. Atleast anytime soon.
And that requires properly placed and sealed ducts on rear quarter glasses to divert air while drifting sideways
