question for SC owners with an intercooler
My M-90 is supposed to be delivered tomm. Yeah!!!!
I know these tend to run hot and that the 2010 has a larger intercooler radiator. Since I'm going to have the front bumper off anyways I was thinking of adding a pusher fan in front of the intercooler radiator to help keep the water temps down for the intercooler as well as the engine coolant. I haven't seen this discussed before so was not sure if it's a dumb idea or not. I know the afco unit is much better but not ready to spend the $$$ for it and I have to assume that a lot of the difference is the fact it has 2 pusher fans on it.
Thoughts?

The afco unit is very nice but pricey. When I upgrade my heat exchanger, I'm going with a killer chiller. As for your plan, if you have the technical capability to do it right, a fan is a good idea in my opinion.
