reprogram the fans, or you can install a switch to control it manually.

I have the big ron davis rad, and the only time I run hot is with the ac on creeping along for 30 min in traffic in 90 deg weather

revving the car up helps, or turning off the ac

pete did an interesting thing and went to an electric pump

not as much flow and not a mod for racing but it increases flow at idle and seems to keep the car cool under normal driving

with the big radiators they "recover" much quicker once you get moving, but they don't work well at low speeds because the fans have a hard time pulling the air throught the much thicker cooling stack

anyone know of bigger better fan setup??
Interesting. Thanks
