Hey Cisco Kid...hold on a damn minute.

Allan's came that way...have him disconnect the two pushers and let's see. Pat doesn't run pushers and he's never complained about overheating.

I added my pushers about 6 months after I got my car...AFTER last summer's heat. Mine ran cool then and runs cool now. I added the pushers for looks against strong advice from many. I don't always use them...I usually rely on the puller alone.

Why? As Pat noted when we went to Redding...since I like to leave my fans running to expel heat from under the hood after a good run, "little hands" can reach in there and get chopped off. Also makes a mess of any birds that happen to get sucked in.

Personally, I think the air flow added by the pushers simply offsets the air flow they block.

Then again..who the phuk knows. It seems to have helped Steve's.

Turk...you have the mounts in there ready to go, and the wires are already brought forward for them.

Joe always told me arruminum would run cooler...that's why he liked the idea for Fresno. Maybe there's something to it.
