Default Keeping them Cooool

SO after some battles with keeping the heat down under the hood after the vortech install. .I found a fairly good solution. I went with the center foglight grill and did a dual fan setup with a thermostat probe infront of the condensor. I used a 10" and an 8" fan that come on about 170.... the car sits right around179 at idle and 185 cruising..... car use to sit around 199 at idle and 210-215 cruising even with the fan on... I cant see spending 650-700 on a radiator right now... the reviews on them havent even been all that great...i heard a drop in temp about 5 degrees. I think its the design of our front bumper and grill that restricts the airflow...
