this seems really smart.. why don't oem's do this?
i bet there's a way to get this to happen for less than 80 bux though.. any ideas?

There are quite a few guys in the truck section using that controller on their aftermarket electric fans. We(truck guys) get a engine driven clutch fan from the factory.

Why worry with a manual switch when there are several nice controllers on the market?
What I'm wondering is why a Fbody guy is worried about fan control with aftermarket devices? You guys have alot of control through the stock computer.
When you put a set of fans on a truck the stock computer can be used if it's reprogrammed but, we don't have all the setting available in it that the cars do. With some relays the stock computer works great though.

Delta contolling is not really cost effective. That is why the OEM's don't use it. They really don't need it. As far a drag car goes, I don't think it will make a diffference over a manual switch. Once you reach 60 MPH+ the air flow is more effective than the fans anyways.
In traffic for a car like your's Mightymouse, I don't see you gaining anything out of it.

I bought (but returned) a Hayden thermostatic fan
controller at Pep Boys, that controls to tank temp.
Then the thermostat controls the block temp with
some authority (if the tank is held lower). The stupid
thing about the F-body setup is, it doesn't start the
fans until it's too late and you have no "cold reserve"
for surge heat.
I am interested in their higher-CFM fans as I think the
OEM ones are kinda weak (see how the temps rise when
you run the A/C on Georgia blacktop).

That being said, my low fans run all the time so i'll have constant temps.
