I suppose with these elect. fans the shrouds and foam packing is no longer necessary? Seems to me it should keep engine compartment cooler without that stuff blocking the other circulation.

I have the bCool setup on order...should be here Monday.

I am running dual fans from a C4. It is a nice setup. Do a Google search on "big block from hell" for more info on the swap. That gives another option if you can find any.

Thanks for all the input guys. I just went and picked up a LS1 dual setup from a local fellow forum member. He gave me a heck of a deal on it. It looks like I'm going to go ahead and upgrade to an aluminum radiator and a separate transmission cooler at the same time. I see a Northern brand aluminum radiator on Ebay for a pretty good price. I should have no problems cooling my 350 with this combo.
