Default Fluidyne radiator question

For those who are running Fluidyne radiators - are they single row or dual row?

Thanks.

That's why I am looking at either Fluidyne or Dewitt. Both will fit under the stock shroud w/o modification.
Just trying to determine which will cool more efficiently.

I actually increased the temps for fans ON just to keep motor at an operating temperature of 85-90C or 180-190F.

Those are coolant temps and Celsius. It's cruising at about 85 C which is just fine.

Sorry misunderstood your question. It was right about 80F outside.

How is it in a hot day, stop and go traffic with AC on?

I had just gotten my AC recharged. Driving w AC on and cruising at 65, coolant temps stayed at 85C. It would increase to 90C as things slowed down. Haven't done stop and go. I have my fans coming on at about those points.
