On the demon I will not be able to use a clutch drive fan, but use an mechanical fan. We are thinking of just using an electric 16" fan. Your thoughts on this? The car will be a street strip car.

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... 71 Swinger - slowly collecting dust/parts 66 Belv.

I'm running E85 so it won't be the same, but the only time I saw above 180* was on a long highway trip;even on 90+ humid days in Nebraska. I run a hi-flow 180* stat and I'm always between 170-180.
