Yes, I drove over to the AER show (late because of honey dos). I believe I saw your car (almost same color as mine), but I asked a couple of people and no one answered up. I was there about 2ish. I was wearing a cobra shirt - big ugly guy! Snooped around all the cobras for a good while.

The only guy I talked to had a SPF with 5.0 Ford. Saw a lot of different set ups, several with dual fans but most lacked the shrouding I think is needed.

I had no problems at all running the highway. All the way over and back never saw over 185. And I was not babying her either! I was hauling a-- most the way back. At stop lights she would get up and run on fan - a lot of fan but maintained 200. The inlet shroud has helped a lot and I think the fan shroud is the next project. Ultimately if I have to I will go with a larger CFM fan.

I wished I could have hooked up because I wanted to meet you. Other than this post I never get to talk to Cobra guys. I try to hit all the car shows I can, but I don't have the patience to enter and have to sit there with my car all day - I want to be driving it!
