Happy Birthday Ken! I know some of the SRT8 fans are popular, and obviously the HHR and older taurus stuff. I think its hard to go wrong with the OEM stuff, they're meant to be used constantly, so on a racecar or street strip application they do just fine. I have an HHR fan on my car.

Seen on another sight years ago how guys were using the elec fans off a Dodge Viper on their tow rigs and was wondering if any here has put on the race car. If so, how'd it work out? Got pix?
Thanks.
Ken.
I gave one to a buddy of mine and he runs it on
his ford BB truck... he loves it but for a race car
I didnt want to... it draws a ton of amps... its a
2 stage fan and draws 40 amp

Thanks Mike, yeah, 40 A would be ridiculous on a short run time car.

I have the fan setup off of a 2003 Viper on my cuda. Dual fans w/ 2 speed settings. I keep it on the low setting b/c it draws so many amps, but it keeps my ride nice and cool.
