new fans
so my stock fan were crapping out along with connectors melting...so seeing how during the summer in slow traffic my a/c wasn't doing that well either, i ordered up the dual fan kit from D3PE. probably won't be able to see what they can really do till summer time. has anyone used this fan kit in the summer already? since the difference in the D3PE and OEM from GM wasn't that far apart i figured it was the better move to upgrade.

I am running the D3PE fans and love them so far. Definitely push a lot of air. My temps are noticeably about 10 degrees cooler than with the stock setup with my ECS supercharger. Hopefully that trend will continue this coming summer

hey did you have to do any fabrication or adjusting when you installed the fans? with the blower pipe and all being in the way.

Yes. Definitely not as straight forward as if I did not have a charge pipe in the way. The fitment was slightly off so I had to trim the top edge ever so slightly on the passenger side top I believe. Also the top drivers-side fan would not fit with the charge pipe. I had to remove one of the four bolts holding the fan to the shroud in order for the charge pipe to clear that fan. I also had to re-adjust how the oil cooler hung just sligtly. All not difficult. Just unexpected. I believe other than that it was pretty straight forward.
