I have STAGGERED fans on the Mad -- because of clearance -- so just the one fan is a bit thinner and I have the SPAL PWM use the bigger fan as fan #1 and the fan that moves slightly less air as fan #2.
That pan hanging down like that --- nasty accident waiting to happen! Ask me how I know. LOL Had a 66 Vette that I did that too.. on the WAY to get a skid plate made - I scooped up part of the street. It won't buff out.  |
I took care of the fan.. the fan i was running was too low because i have my radiator lower than normal (clearance for the upper intercooler pipes)... so it was just tapping the sway bar. That fan was flowing 3200 CFM... my new fan is twin 12 inch "ultra thin" and flows 2900 CFM i believe. So far so good... 500 miles and she's been stayin nice and cool. Outside temps have been in the 70's....
I am installing the new ATS pan next week. The LH8 pan is WAY to low. I haven't hit anything yet..... but i feel like its only a matter of time... so yeah.. im getting rid of that thing.
