Glad to hear that you figured out a cure for your problem.

Great dude! I was thinking of doing something similar. I found one old FAL fan I had lying around and put that in. It should flow something like 1400cfm, but I haven't had a chance to take it for a test drive yet. Can you post a link to the product you purchased?

Flex-A-Lite Fan DSM - Modern Automotive Performance

this is the one i got. i got it used off this site so i only paid 100 bucks for it but they are well worth the 400 bills if you need to save space while still flowing a lot of air.

You got a great deal. I have been running the FAL 325 for the past 8 years and have never had any issues (3 of those years in lived in Las Vegas). One thing that I really like about them is that the fan shroud covers the entire radiator. All of the other slim fans that I have seen have smaller, round shrouds that don't utilize all of the radiator surface area.

FINALLY...... for all of you that have posted in this thread thanks for the advice and info.

My car no longer overheats thanks to the FAL dual shrouded fans that i threw in there. They are absolute monster's in moving some air. I beat on the car pretty good over the weekend and i never saw over 200 F. the highest temp i saw was like 196. Hope this helps some of the guys that said they had similar problems.

This statement is quite accurate. If you stand back by your rear tire while the fans are working you feel a hard, impressive blast of air coming from underneath the car and hitting your leg.

They are rated at 2,500 cfm!

WOW! Looks like I'll be ditching the punishment racing shroud + fan combo for this as soon as I get some money together. Maybe I'll be able to drive my car finally!!

Yea when i saw they were only 100 bucks, i jumped on them pretty quick. They def do move some air, sitting in my car with the window down i can hear them. I have them controlled by the EMS to come on together which sounds like a hovercraft under my hood!
