I see some people running 2 16" fans but 2 16's wouldn't fit on mine. I had to do a 16 and a 14.

You'll have to wire up an additional relay for the ac or figure another way to make them kick on with you turn it on. The summit relay kit the temp sensor is in the coolant which is better then the ones you just shove in the rad fins
Where did you install the coolant sensor at?

Default pics of fan install

Well here they are, at the highest setting on the thermostate, I am running about 10 degrees cooler. The aluminium shroud adds to the cooling for extreme areas. And in pic 3 look how much room you have to work on the engine.

The sensor goes through the radiator as close as possible to the top rad. hose

I was talking about the thread-in sensor that comes with the Summit dual fan kit. I think a better reading comes from the sensor that is in contact with actual coolant rather than one of those probe style sensors.

Did the kit come with the aluminum plates or did you make them?

the aluminium parts are not plates they are shrouds & they come with the fans ready to go.

Doesn't matter where the reading comes from, it's where you set the fans to go on and off.

The probe is a much easier setup than the screw-in type sensor and you don't ever have to worry about a leak. If the temp of the coolant goes to high, you adjust the fans to come on earlier.

Mine pop one about 10* after the 180* t-stat pops open. That way, they don't run while I'm driving down the road and the ram air from 45mph+ cools the rad just fine. If it's really hot out they assist, and if I'm in stop and go traffic, they take the brunt of the heat removal. If I was at the track, I'd probably notch them down a bit to compensate for severe strain I'm putting on them.
