Honestly after my overheating woes I really wish I would have went with a gigantic rad, rather than the griffin everyone uses. Maybe I got a bad one though, hard to say

What fans did you use? Alot of people use the Derale pusher fans. That's what I went with. I haven't had the car on the road yet, but I'm hoping that I can sit in a traffic jam, if need be, and not overheat. I did connect them to the battery, they move a ton of air!

Im using the griffin that's widely used. no overheating issues here. I'm using the stock fans as theyve been working great for me, just had to modifiy them to fit. I'm also not using a.c , so the condenser has been deleted and I made sure I kept my air dam functioning properly. stay nice n cool and it's been 90 degrees here in cincinnati
