Light weight flex fan. Good street / drag compromise.

Run a viscous clutch with a shroud and a 15" pusher just in case. Running a small Howe alum. radiator (ordered total width when I thought it was core width...oops)
Cruising it sits happily at 180 with the elec. unit off. Only after sitting in bumper to bumper traffic (i.e. Woodward) for 20-30 minutes will it approach 200 with the elec. fan on. With how much I drive, I want to be safe.
Will go with a HHR when I get a new radiator...
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

mike,do you know the amp draw on that hhr fan?
No I dont... not off hand.. but I believe its in the 20-22 amp area... I run it on a 30 amp fuse and even with the surge amps it doesnt pop the fuse
