Sounds awesome man, if you get the chance please throw up some pics. I have brackets I just haven't shaped them or painted them yet.

Travis and I spend the day repairing my exhaust system, lol. I've starting tuning the alcohol injection again and broke a header bolt as well as warped both flange bolts on the driver side. The 1st week of October Trucky and I have appointments at a local race shop to have solid engine mounts made

Default Fan Shroud

Zip tied my factory shroud back on behind my HHR fan today. If it seems like it actually helps the temp, I am going to fab up some brackets.

Thats good news. The HHR fans are great and I'm really impressed with them. I laugh every time I watch the temp gauge get up to 1/4 and drop back down to 1/8, lol

Your temp gauge drops back to 1/8? mine seems like it stays about 1/4 - 5/16 after warming up... 'course you have the 4.7 with a totally diff set up. I only have the 3.7. A little warmer than with my clutch fan.

Unless I'm running the AC then the temp will stay at 1/4. If I make several WOT runs back to back that will do it also. The rest of the time it will climb to 1/4 then drop back to 1/8, lol. I love it.

Blown,

Tried to take a picture but then turned out awful. Anyway... Of course my temp. needle doesn't run anywhere as low as yours. If I remember correctly you are running a high performance water pump. Could that be the reason? Or could it be just the region. Our summer temps'. are usually between 90-98 degrees of dry heat. Boy if my temps. ran as low as yours I would go get me the 18' camping trailer I've being eyeing.

No doubt the water pump could be part of it. It never ran this cool before but I'm certainly enjoying it.

hendrixx, I know you talked about the SPAL did you ever get one? I ask because I'm curious if the fan was running in both high and low speeds or just low speed?

Its important because these fan are successfully used on some major HP producing applications.

It is NOT because of the region. We had a hot humid summer and my truck was always around just below half. Of course my E-fan situation is on the fritz, still working on it. But I am thinking his water pump has really helped.
