do you have the stock fan shroud that came with the procharger setup ? if so add a 9" fan to it if you want two . Im running two fans on the stock procharger shroud.

i do have the procharger fan shroud, its still on the car, but with a dead fan. ill have to put a new fan that will replace the procharger fan and add the 9 inch one, im not sure if its worth the hassle modding it if im only saving a few bucks?

its worth the hassle , the 9" fan was like 90 bucks and i dont know what the larger fan runs , maybe 150 if that .

yeah i decided to just add a 9 inch spal to the procharger shroud, it comes out to less than what sdce wants for their setup

on top of the fans im definitely going to use either Redlines Water Wetter,Royal Purples Purple Ice, or Amsoils Coolant Boost in the coolant...

Just know none of those are anti freeze so replace or drain them come winter. And be careful, some of those don't have the proper lubricants for your pump.

if my heat problem gets solved with the fan setup then i wont even bother using any of the coolant additives

Fwiw I am using the SDCE Fans and in the Chicago heat & humidity my engine temps never creep up over 190 while cruising... Never over 180 idling in the garage.

I had the procharger fan set up,recently did the vertical radiator to the car,was able to trim the main fan bracket to almost a perfect fit on the griffin radiator. Then I cut the top procharger bracket down to hold everything against the radiator. Im new here and not sure how to post pics. I have a ton of them and it works great! Anyone interested can text or call me for the pics or to let me know how to post them from a cell.thanks 405-371-8571.

ok guys, so turns out i have the older 2 piece fan shroud from procharger, so in order to add the extra 9" fan i would have to cut out where the bolts are that hold the shroud together.. so i just replaced the 16" fan for now and the cars running cool... until i find a solution to add the 9" to my shroud...

Drill another hole to hold the 2 piece together.Pretty simple.

When you install the 9" fan with the 4 BOLTS it will hold the shroud together.

What these 2 said ^^^
This is what I did when I added a 7'' fan to my 2-piece Procharger fan shroud.

Bolted the 2 halves together... https://camaroversion20.shutterfly.com/277

Hole cut... https://camaroversion20.shutterfly.com/277#278

Cleaned up the edges and reassembled the two halves using the fan bolts to hold the shroud together... https://camaroversion20.shutterfly.com/277#280

i didn't think the four bolts would be enough support but now that i see people doing it and it works fine ill go ahead and do that, thanks!
