Good Idea, I am also getting drag springs.. Do those change the stance of the car any? Any lower? just curious.

I AGREE WITH THAT!

It may not be a bad idea to look into a Griffin radiator while you're at it. Mine stays incredibly cool with the summit electric fan.

RE: 5.0 Elec. Fan?
anyone know what the difference between these two is?
first one
second one
(other than price, name brand, and that slight size difference)

RE: 5.0 Elec. Fan?
first an electric pump will not flow enough to keep you car cool in city driving....also you can keep you shroud as I have installed fans that fit in it..so the car appears stock looking and will cool a tad better. I also use the flex fan..it's by far the best fan for cooling..... but some hp can be gained from the electric fan..I would install aleast a 100-140 amp alt. and use a underdrive pulley...

Also, flex fans suck!! I tried on on my mustang and it didn't help at all. That's why I went with the electric fan.
Have you ever seen a flex fan fly apart? Not a pretty sight!
Sorry to disagree with you but I don't know how you have enough room for the stock shroud with an electric fan or, how you can say flex fans cool the best.

RE: 5.0 Elec. Fan?
Yeah I didnt think I reused the stock shroud.. My flex fan works fine, I have a 180 stat, and it never even gets to the 1/2 way point on my temp gauge. Car runs very cool. I have about 13* timing now, and 4.10's which are getting installed as we speak, should be done by now, my brother is pickin' it up for me. I am just waiting for him to get here so that I can drive it!!! Should be mid to low 14's I hear.
