Just installed an electric fan. I originally had it running off a 200 degree temp switch in the upper radiator hose. Issue was the bottom radiator hose was ice cold while the top was burning hot. Meaning my duel core radiator cools off the engine effectively without needing the fan. I'm using an adjustable temp switch now and the fan rarely comes on. Bottom third of the radiator is almost always cool/warm at most.

I've installed a switch to allow me to manually turn it on at any time. I have a light that comes on to indicate whenever the electric fan is running aswell.

Power is definitely up, especially after 2000 rpms. Very noticeable. I need less pedal on the highway to maintain speed.

I'm very very happy with the current results
