Default Radiator

I believe the most import aspect to keeping the engine cool is the radiator...... not he fans. You can have all the fans and air you want but if your radiator does not have capacity then you are done. Obvisouly the more fans will help once you have a great radiator, depending on the driving conditions.

I am running a nascar type radiator with only a single fan in the rear. I do not like the looks of the fan(s) in the front but that is just my personal opinion. I do not have cooling problems. In fact most of the time until air temp get above 75-80 degress I never have to turn the fan on. I am running lower compression which helps too, under 10 to 1.

Put your money in a great radiator, not all the fans!

2 Cents!
