Lol that's really the only place I do them . That was from the track 2 weeks ago. On the road hazing the tire at 45-60mph from a roll is more fun.I don't think I'll ever get tired of Burnouts lol. Good video man

Changed the seal around the fans today . Looks factory now . Mid to high 80s here . Driving hasn't gone over 184 . Idle 186 . Heat soaked it too 206 and turned the fans back on . Pulled down to 200 and just maintained it . This made me happy . My black magic would always just slowly creep and never maintain after heat soak . As soon as I started moving it started to come down a bit .
So far I'm super happy with the fans . Next thing is too dilute the coolant a bit . Gonna change the mix to 70:30 maybe even 80:20 .

Do you think putting vacuum line over the coiled up thermostat wire would hurt anything? I have same unit and want to protect it. Or maybe it doesn't need it... I have it routed under radiator inside the frame so its covered too.

I found the contour fans on Summit, looked up the model, specs were not on the Dorman site. Emailed their tech support got this answer.

dont see a need to wrap the sending unit wires. Very interesting cfm #'s as historically i;ve read the dual contour fan pulls over 3000cfm..
So have I . I think it all depends on what type of restriction your testing them through too

Is the amperage correct? 5.8 draw? Have you put a multimeter to it since you put that big leash 75 relay on it?
I plan on it tomorrow . Gonna bring my amp clamp home from work tonight

I have future upgrades planned and my current BM may not handle it. I hope to hear more on your testing with these fans. I replied back to Dorman Support email asking if those numbers were indeed correct and what type of restrictions they were using during testing. This was his response:
Tom,
Those are the correct specs for this fan. Those specs are obtained using an anemometer with no restriction.

I don't no if they are gonna be that low amperage wise I can't see it being true . If it is I'd consider switching back to my BM . Through a restriction like a rad core the cfm number becomes less . Many guys use them including the Dorman replacements like I have and don't have an issue on high hp cars which wouldn't make sense if they really pull that little air . I forgot to bring my amp clamp home I'm gonna do it tomorrow . But I did do this .

Man I love that overflow. I thought about getting that but you lose your sensor. What are your thoughts on the sensor? I guess you have a water temp reading and you would just want to check your fluid levels manually... Looks vs electronics....
My car never had tthe sensor option lol . If the rad is full and there's a dribble in the over flow I'm content . LolMan I love that overflow. I thought about getting that but you lose your sensor.
