In Reply To	Advice on going to a dual electric fan setup... posted by ZX NAT on July 26, 2011 at 08:35 AM
Message	350Zs and 370Zs, started from the back of the pack in the advanced class, ~15minute session, in the 104F index temps of Savannah. Spal 16" fan, shrouded, double-pass radiator, AUX fan running. Only guy that got me was the powdercoater car, which was running race slicks and came in on a trailer. Max coolant temp: 212F. Cannot speak to the dual 12" fans, but I feel I have figured out what electric fan setup actually works. I even have an underdrive pulley with the stock water pump pulley and an OEM alternator, so I am underdriving both the electrical system as well as the water pump. Shrug - maybe it works because I just believe hard enough that it does? Mind over matter? Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W. Irving. Are you an enthusiast?
