Default [General] What should it say?

I'm going to have an alum. cover made to cover up the radiator top. I was thinking about having "Caution Fans" wet jetted out in the center. What other saying would be good there?

Not sure how small of a text/font you can have cut-out, but how-about some general engine info (like the early sharks had on the shifter consoles), like cubic inch displacement, HP, TQ, compression ratio, etc.?
