I’ll definitely give you that they don’t move much air. However, I’ve been driving around here a good bit and even with the temps hovering around triple digits there has been no noticeable change in the engine’s temps. Once it gets up to a little over 80c it just sits there no matter whether we’re driving down the highway or sitting at a traffic light. Sides, I’m running a big inch FE with lots of original looking stuff so it’s for the visual impact anyway.

As far as loosing phalanges or little kid’s heads goes, if the wiring is run to Fan2 then they are slaved not only to the temp sensor but to the ignition switch as well. So if the kid (or the owner) comes up missing digits then I have to ask: wtf where they doing in there with the engine running? AS far as Cobra dangers go, the pipes are more of a threat than the fans by a huge margin.

So quite yer biatchin’ Jay and post some pics of the ones that you’ve done!
