    I am looking to upgrade the fan on my 2003 Cobra. Any recommendations, I was thinking of going with a Spal dual 11" Fan. The specs on this fan seem good. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

    The temp starts to rise when I am on the streets with the A/C. But when I'm on the freeway everthing else is fine.

    Common problem with some of the 03/04's. Some of these cars just run hotter than others, especially when the A/C is on. Do you have any mods done to the car? Do you have a tune in it, or a handheld tuner? The stock ECM calibration can be changed so that the fans come on sooner which does help in some cases. You can also look at a new thermostat from Evans cooling...

    The fan is fine, the radiators are not the best. I dropped 20deg just doing a radiator running water and water wetter. Get a nice LFP or Fluidyne. Also are you reading the stock gauge or are you reading a real temp gauge.
