Default is this the right controller for a electric fan install?

just won a Mark VIII fan on ebay, looking at this controller for it.....


http://www.dccontrol.com/0820.htm
(go to link, top left "fan control" link, its the FK35 at the top of the page)


heard this one was the best you can buy!

need to know if it will work well, and if i need anything else other then what they are showing.


thx!

i plan to write a thread up about the results of the install.

as my car sits right now, with the underdrive pulleys and stock clutch fan, my car will creep up and run hot on WARM days

hoping this will be overkill, and solve my heat issues!

thanks!

ive heard from 2 ppl that the only "difference" you feel is from a take off it feels a bit quicker, like the engine revs faster.

with my 4.10 gears im at 2krpm on my way to work on the highway at 60-65mph, so not spinning that fan at 2krpm should give me atleast 1mpg back too!


thanks guys, imma order it right now.
