Default Front Radiator Fans?

Does anyone have opinions on the front radiator fan kits from Finish Line? I did install the 2 speed Taurus fan this fall, and that helped a lot with the cooling, but the temps were not July/August temps either.
Just trying to think ahead if I have a heating problem next summer.
Also thinking about the air duct vents and hose to help cool the foot area of the car.
Anyone have pro or con thoughts on these?
Thanks in advance.
Mike P.

The pusher fans are more appearance than functionality. The footbox vents are a very worthwhile addition especially in hotter climates in my opinion.

I had a heating problem when I installed my new aluminum Shelby motor. Worked fine on the road, but overheated in the city. Retained my puller fan and had a custom shroud built. Still fine on the road, but when I slow down I flip the fan switch on and it remains at 180 degrees F. Nice and cool. The footbox vents sound like a great way to keep your feets cool. Rich

If you mean the original twin fans, no, they will not help much and just use them for looks. Do you have a good fan shroud with your fan ?
They help,... a lot.

Although, I've often wondered if it's a hot day in traffic, since our radiators are so far inside the fish mouth opening, if you turned the twins on to suck up some air for the main fan, if that would help ?
