Very important to seal everything as well as possible.

Ditto, on that.
Short, high speed circle track engines require that almost
every particle of air introduced to the radiator passes through.

A crude "ball park" test is to have the engine idling with a standard
8.5x11 sheet of paper held at the intake area of the vehicle.
The paper should be drawn in close to horizontal.
Just another 2cents worth.

PS- Do not try this on a propeller driven aircraft,
        can be hazardous to your health.
