Default Best Cooling for FI?

I have a rear mount and used the LT1 bracket to get a litle more space on the radiator. What is the best setup for cooling.

Both Pushers? One of each??

Post your setup and what keeps the beast cool.

I want to keep stock radiator and I have A/c

stock fans, inter cooler blocking the rad, no condenser, transmission cooler blocking the rad and the heater is always on in the car no matter how hot it is outside.

seems to keep the temperatures bellow 180 most of the time. but the heater must stay on !!!

I have 2 Derale 11" pushers on the typical Griffin radiator that everyone uses and have zero cooling issues (with AC condensor & intercooler) even in the southern heat. I see 190* max, & I dont have to run the heater.
