[VIDEO] Mark VIII Fan Demo
My fan finally arrived. This video is a good overview of the fan itself. All amp readings were done by a local alternator shop and should be accurate. Installation video to follow.

Very good info. That's why I kept blowing relays and why it killed my alt. Yikes.

Do you happen to know the model of the fan I have? It's a 19" Mustang Cobra fan, looks very similar to the RF64.
Great link...that looks like what I'll need.

Very impressive air flow and some killer amps drawn by that fan. That one should really take care of any heating issues pretty quickly when it kicks on. I may have to upgrade to one of these fans when the one I have now dies. Good video and I like the info at the end.

That is really impressive! It really sucks the air! My CS144 140 amp alt should handle that monster with 8 guage wire. Now I need to see why my fan does not pull the amps yours does. We need plenty of pics of the install and more Clint too!

I have the same question about this Cobra fan but no one seems to know anything about it.

However, I will be using a pulse width controller similar to SPAL's SPM--->

I will also have a manually switched relay for a fail-safe backup.

Using these kits, like the FK-60 60A Fan Control Kit, do you have to have a second relay or is that just for back up and safety?
