I already have, you idiot. And I did with both Mustangs, too.

This will pretty much come down to the quality of the fan for stop-and-go traffic.
There are some good fans, and more terrible fans.
If you're using a stock quality fan (high speed, shrouded and large chunky blades) i dont think you'll have a problem.
It'll certainly overheat on the track though (race track, not drags).

But if it's a daily car, i dont think you'll have a problem.
Exactly. e-muscles! I love it! Valvetap is working out his e-Muscles really good in this thread!
This is why I have two fans on this single radiator.

Yes, I run e-85.

No e-muscles here. Just stating real life events i've experienced. And no need for name calling. Also we haven't even gotten into the warm months but I guess way2qik will know if it actually overheats or not.

why are you hi-jacking his thread??
He just wanted to show his radiator not have a debate! Let him try it out and if he is right great, if not I'm sure he'll resolve it!

Hey way2qik I apologize for hijacking your thread buddy. Wasn't trying to start a debate. I was just speaking from personal experience. Didn't realize you had 2 fans on the radiator. Good luck this summer.

I did mention quite a ways back that it had two fans on it....

Anyways, apology accepted! No harm, no foul. Thanks for being a stand up guy. Have a great day!

So, today was a really good day to give this radiator a test to see if it would actually keep the car cool in hot weather. Today it was 89F here in our area, and it was humid!

So, I took the car on a 40 mile drive that included stop and go as well as some highway driving.

The car never got over 171F and ran at an average temp of 165F most of the time. So, it looks like the engine just naturally likes that mid-160F range without a thermostat. Of course, I do have the fans kicking on at 165F and shutting off at 155F, but the car never got that cool today after driving it. So, this means the fans were on for the vast majority of the drive, which is fine.

This pic was taken on the e-way about 15 minutes into my drive.
