I use those fans and think they are freaking awesome. Last week it was in the 90's in Chicago and my temps were between 180-190 the whole time. Just make sure the shrouding makes a nice seal on the rad to channel the air. Someone mentioned that once I hook up my condenser it might not be sufficient, but I'll find that one out later.

Not sure, like everything posted on the internet I take it for what it is. Until I actually hook up the condenser I won't know for sure. It could just be that it's another cooler to draw air through instead of just the rad itself, but then again heat soak from coolers like for my trans isn't an issue as I rear mounted those. Otherwise people are put off by the fact that it's a 2,500 cfm fan. The pushers that some guys use are much higher rated, but I do believe that the shrouding and it being a puller helps out immensely. My temps have been pretty good i must say.

Is everyone welding a bung to their Griffin radiators for the steam pipe? I only saw it mentioned once. I just got done installing my Griffin and trying to figure out what to do with the steam pipe. Could you T it into one of the heater core lines?
