Another procharger overheat problem f1a I have a f1a with fmic, becool 3 core radiator single fan still. is there anyone that street drives the f1 system and doesnt have a runing hot issue below 50mph? I have a 160 stat and the fan runs all the time, i was concidering adding the 9" fan but dont think there is room without hitting the headunit..... is there a super awsome replacement for the ati fan i dont know about? whats with the shroud blocking 60% of the radiator flow? Any info would rock it is still about 60deg outside and i dont know what i will do when it is 90+ out..... i'm runiing 830rwhp and was pulled away from my turbo setup to do the s/c which i really find more "streetable" but have been running into alot of small dumb issues! Thanks for the help!

I don't have any issues running my F1R. I have answered a lot of questions for people on this its pretty simple to get them to act normal with even with high temps like we get here in Houston. I can drive mine with the a/c on anytime. LMK if you need a few suggestions. Oh and I don't have a becool radiator I have a stock LT1 radiator.

careful cutting your shroud for the additional 9" fan. I cut my stock shroud for the fan that works with the P1 and D1 headunits as seen here:
However, the F1 is bigger than the P1 and D1, so the fan I had hit the head unit. I had to end up making my own custom shroud and move that fan up higher as shown here:
Moral of the story- measure twice with the fan in place as it will be on the car and cut once. I know this seems like such a simple and "DUH" statement, but I learned the hard way.
Oh yea, also btw- I am running a 16" 3000cfm fan i got from summit in place of the stock procharger fan because my stock procharger fan motor went out on me last year.
