I have an electric fan on mine and sometimes forget to turn it on and see the temps creeping up past 210...electric fan helps out a ton especially when its hot out like it has been and when you remember to turn it on.

I still have a clutch fan guys. If I had efans I would have them wired to come on at temp and run at higher speed with AC.

ya gotta realize that the cooler tstat will keep the coolant flowing more often, so less time in the rad. Quite often overlooked.

So are you saying it's a bad idea being in such a hot climate?

Well, possibly. It has it's ups and downs. It will cool better going down the road, but sitting still you'll be screwed. Just really watch your temps til you get the money Travis.

why not just set it up to just come on at a certain temp like the nelson performance harness and when you turn the ac on it kicks 1 fan on high to keep up. or just put it on an ignition feed and it'll come on no matter what.
