That looks awesome...My car really cooks up with my bling stuff in the summer. With my Xenon from bumper, I get a lot of air flow blockage, so even with my HS fan on at 176 and a Fluidyne, I see high temps on the hwy in the summer.. I think I may look into this if I do an engine upgrade next year.

what more do you need? Only thing I will say is I tore off the dcc controler, even when the controller is on full blast, the fan will run faster with a direct 12v sorce, so the controller is holding the fan back a little. It may not be an issue with your set up and if it cools then great, mine did, but It is something I found while messing with it.

Sorry...dont need more on the process, just on obtaining the parts, since this was a few years old, and havent been able to find this stuff on the net after a brief, quick search...Wanted to find some updates on pricing and availability.

Thanks

I know it's a dealer item.. At the time I paid something like 185 from Diablosport, and the dodge dealer wanted around 250 ish. I think they are more now. I wouldn't pay more than a couple hundred bucks for it. I've sinced pulled the fan since it wouldn't fit with my YSI and now use a 31x19 rad with the ramchargers/intrepid dual fans. Works perfect as well. I through the Viper on my 92 with a stock radiator, it was having cooling issues, but the viper fan cured that in short order :)

ponyboy19 not to talk this off topic but what intake is that you are running? Also what valve covers and how did you get the fittings in the covers?

It's a Vic Jr spyder from CHP with the 90mm elbow, the valve covers are from Bennett Racing and are baffled with -12an aluminum fittings that I tig welded over top of them. Fittings can be bought from Summit or Jegs, I doubt the V/Covers would ever fit a standard EFI intake without a huge spacer.
 
I have also installed the viper fan and it is great. As said before the fan will contact the radiatior since the shroud is a bit shallow for a typical raidator. I used some aluminium channel from OSH and built a spacer for the fan to clear. It works great. I havn't had any problems with my DC controler/viper fan/Griffin radiator/stuarts waterpump setup. Ponyboy thank you for the inspiration. Definately a very efficient and clean setiup.
