Default Powerdyne Cooling

I bought a 4.5# Powerdyne Supercharger a couple of years ago. I took it off the same summer because of cooling problems and it has sat on my workbench ever since. I had several conversations with Powerdyne and they eventually shipped me a third fan. I also bought all the parts to upgrade to 6# at that time.

I live in Indiana and the heat isn't Arizona heat but I was still unable to run the AC in traffic and had to turn the heat on during the summer months if I was caught in heavy traffic for any amount of time (~10 minutes.)

I want to put the Powerdyne back on over the winter and I'm wondering what current Powerdyne owners have settled on to cure the heat problem. Can we fit a dual 11 Inch Spal in there like the ATI guys are doing? Can we fit the ATI fan and shroud that comes stock on their kit?

I have to have AC and will just sell the kit if AC isn't an option.

get the dual flexalite fans or something similiar for the ac condensor

seal the condensor to the radiator best you can
run one of the pullers on the radiator

160 degree thermo and kick on the fans earlier and your in buisiness

my friend and I have done this and it did fine in our 90-100 degree summer here in San Jose.

just like blackbird said, but don't use the dual flexalite fans, instead use the dual spal 11" fans, they flow a lot more air.
