Default I was having an issue with high temps

Key word, "was"




Dual 13" fans flow 4000 CFM





3 core radiator




Before the temps would start creeping past 210 whenever I was in traffic. Now, it won't go past 155 degrees.

We also opened up the radiator opening so we could make use of a larger radiator, and cut the radiator core support for the future cold air intake. Planning an LS swap in the future. We replaced the lost rigidity by beefing up the custom core support around the radiator/fan assembly. Nice controller for the fans as well. Can set the first fan to come on at whatever temp you want, second fan comes on if the temp goes 10 degrees higher.

Also added a 140 amp alternator as in addition to the electric fans, the sound system with amps will be finished this week.

This is a must for Houston. Now I will be able to enjoy the car without overheating worries
