Dave,
I am very happy with this fan, it has not let the car get over 90C yet, and that includes sitting at an offramp for 5 minutes in traffic at 95F, after having pounded the big 427 pretty hard on the Interstate. If I were going to put a different radiator in my car, it would be that Fluidyne Cobra model. There are a couple on FleaBay for $499 with free shipping. One of them has a Best Offer feature and I sent in a $400 lowball and they countered at $480.
As you know from the overheating thread, I tried a bunch of fancy t-stats and would up back with the NAPA OEM replacement 180* model with 4 1/8" holes. My car runs solid at 85C/185F down the road and hangs around 85-90C at idle and running around town.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Jim
