both fans pulling 50 amps doesn't sound that bad. a single taurus fan uses close to that.

I used a taurus fan, and with the stock alt it just drained my battery, and it kept blowing 30 amp fuses.

With my psychic skills, I predict your dual fan is from a SHO Taurus, hehe.

Anyway, the Taurus single fan does not use 50amps, most likely it's 30amps, it blows the fuses because it uses more htan 30amps on startup, so it'll blow the fuse, you'll need to use 40amp fuses, and I think the only place that sells standard ATC style fuses in 40amps is Napa Auto Parts.
