i am running 2 permacools. one 10\" and i think the other is 8\". i also have the vette radiator and a high volume water pump. it will still get in warm in traffic, about 230. i am going to try and get a taurus fan. i heard one from a 90-95 flows about 4500cfm. but it also draws 40 amps when running.

14A on low and 31A on high. Not sure how much air it moves but it\'s a butt load for sure! http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

Flex-o-lite #210 with thermo set at 180

4.3 radiator

70/30 mix with water wetter

160 thermo



My truck sits at 185 degrees in traffic in 85+ heat. Cooler than like 75 out, and if I\'m moving, it will stay at 160.

Ive got two of the Permacool High Performance 10\" electric ones from work. I never see the hot side of 190, and they are in front of the AC condenser. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

Flex fan and Fan clutch. Be Cool S-10 radiator. Mind you this is a 400sb which they are known to run hot. Never seen above 185 in 100 degree weather. Usually stays right at 180.

i don;t have a electric fan, i just run a 16\"

flex-a-lite plastic flex, it\'s rated for 8000rpm and pull the most air at low rpm\'s where it\'s needed most...i run between 180-190 all day long and thats with a done up 355 and a 4.3 rad... havn\'t had a need for a electric fan, i might steal the one off my gto though and get rid of the flex

Had stock 4.3 hd radiator with LT1 and now AFCO alum rad. 2 row. Use Perma cool 14\" (puller mode) hp model fan (rated at 2700 cfm, but actually pulls above 3100 cfm @ 9 amps). Stayed below 210 in stop and go traffic with either rad. Cost about $74.00 from summit. Runs at 160 on hiway without fan running. Fan is controlled by toggle switch or ecm.
