I would spend the money on electric fans. A fan shroud cost over $100 so why not upgrade to a better system now.

i want to say the ones i installed had a 40 amp relay..
but i used an ammeter and remember thinking 40 was way to high.. i want to say plan for 30 but its really more like 18

Thanks...might even end up with a couple more horses to boot, huh, assuming the stock fan is removed with this set-up.

I have a small block but, I wound up buying from Tom also. Been very happy. I got a stock replacement with a 16 inch electric. Temp gauge stay right on the thermostat.

All of you are making me take a second thought about not spending the money for a new shroud. Just invest in a Electric Fan set up. It seems everyone that has move in this direction is very pleased they did. If I go this route is the dual set up better than the single or is it just an overkill for redundancy.

That was my next question.

the dual gives you the best coverage area and for hi perf is essential.. in fact with the angled mounting of the radiator with the perpendicular fins you need as much help as you can get..

Thanks Ben as usual, "you are the man". I talked to Tom Dewitt earlier today and he suggested the same. I ordered the dual to match the Rad he previously sold me. Thanks to all you guys. This is a great place to come just read pick up some key points but when you have a question you just can't beat this place.
