Howie I use the same CVF aluminum pulley I think you told me to get that years ago and like I said for the most part my car runs at a normal temperature but there are days that are nice out that I would like to take my car out and don’t because if I get caught in traffic it will go up to temps I don’t like to see. How’s your fan setups coming out.

Do you drive the car over long distance? Like burn a full tank during the afternoon run and then pull off the highway and sit in a line of traffic? What kind of performance does it give?

I've driven it on cruise night which is basically a standstill of old cars in August. After installing the fan setup I haven't had trouble with it getting above 180 or so (it has a 160 stat). Prior to this it had a factory 7 blade fan with a shroud and it wouldn't keep up. If you stopped moving the temp would climb and never slow down.

My goal is for extreme cooling on the cheap. ;D
So I put the $59 fans in. My relay starts both fans no problem.
I think the larger surface area that I'm now covering will help.
The real test will be to get it hot and drive into some traffic in town.
