Overheating Issues with Front Mount Kit
Also, if I'm reading correctly, you put fans on, without a shroud, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the fans and radiator. Without a shroud, you're essentially only cooling the immediate area behind the fan, and think about it, air will take the path of least resistance, and if the fan isn't sealed to the radiator with a shroud, the air won't pull past the fins effectively.

Idling in traffic, mine will hang around 210 on an 80 degree day WITH the AC on.
Check everything that has been mentioned and make sure that when your fans are on, air is actually passing through the radiator. When my Derale fans are on hi, you can definitely feel the air passing through the condenser and the radiator.
I also have the Huron Speed AC kit with two Derale pusher fans.

To answer your question, use 30-amp relays, good quality 40-amp fuses or circuit breakers work well too for the amp spikes which Derale's are known for and good quality 10-gauge wire for the power and ground.
Use the factory fan wires to activate the relay and that way you still get individual fan control.
In addition to what TheBallSS said, don't cheap-out on the plug. The plug is often overlooked, but if you use a plug that isn't rated for the work, despite everything else being right, it can be the reason you are melting connections, wire, and blow fuses after a period of time. The delphi 2-pin metri-pack (630 series) is a good OEM-quality plug rated at 46 amp and makes a good reliable connection that won't cause voltage drops that can cook your stuff.

UPDATE: Used stock fans flipped and its running great.
I have a 00 Z28 with a Huron Speed AC retaining kit. Turbo has a blanket on it. I kept stock radiator in stock location. At the time I was about to install the Derale Pusher Fans were back ordered for 2 months so I purchased two of these: Perma-Cool Standard Electric Fans 19122.
It is currently experiencing overheating issues even on the dyno with a giant fan on it. Very perplexed since the twin fans should be supplying more than enough CFM. The shop replaced the thermostat but I figured that wouldn't help, it didn't. They are going to try to use the stock fans with the shroud to help.
Any other ideas? I have talked with several Huron Speed kit owners and usually everyone ran just fine even in MUCH hotter weather (its only 45 degrees here)....

I know this thread my be old but I'm facing issues with my alternators keep going bad after driving not even an hour or so. I have a low mount alternator on a 98 fbody with the Huron turbo kit and I also have. Heat shield on alternator and still. This isy 5th alternator and this one is from a reputable company that make high output alternators. 400 amps on alternator and still burned up. Is anybody experiencing these issues as well or do they just relocate the alternator to a top mount position?
400-amp output on an alternator is pretty high especially if you're mostly stock.
Who is the reputable company, they don't have anything to add?
I run a JS Alternator 325amp unit and it works fantastic, full output from idle to my 7,500rpm shift point, never misses a beat.
