JJ ... sorry for the spoiler picture. Question, did you purchase the fan controller also? If so, do you have a starting point for setting the temp dip switches? The wiring is not all that hard to figure out, may have to increase the length of the battery positive thou!

Not sure what tank your using but you can also consider using a mustang style tank that drops in from the top and give you plenty of extra space for exhaust.

You can see that the well in the trunk has been removed and the tank has been elevated up to make the trunk floor flat. Which also hides the tank and allows you
to place a crash bar across the rear frame rails to protect the tank at the back of the car.


I have thought about all that, went through pics of Mayhem with a microscope, he raised the trunk floor level with the side kickouts and welded on new gas tank/ floor braces/ brackets ... that worked with his Quadralink.

Different with the RT 4 bar though, I would have to support/brace Ride Tech's sway bar that bolts to the trunk floor with a brace from the roll cage ... not sure how much clearance that would gain! Still trying to engineer it out like Mark would do, even thou I'm not an engineer ... might have think outside the box

Yep. I did the fan controller. Not sure I need it, since the FAST or Dakota Digital system will run it for me, with the AC.

Interestingly enough, I haven't installed anything yet. Getting there shortly, but the radiator doesn't seem to fit the support I have.

Yeah, the GM will run it also, just liked the idea of series/parallel dual fan controls without the hit of dual fan start up, that's a lot of amps!

Hmmmm ... I have the OEM radiator support and an AMD sitting in the bedroom, guess I'll have to check fitment tonight!

Thanks

Sorry, it was the aftermarket sub frame. I cut it to fit the radiator. I would have had to cut it for any radiator.

Yeah, I plan to use their fan controller, too. I am calling Tony tomorrow to figure switches.

I do want the aluminum fan covers now. They look pimp.

This is the cat's pajamas! Figured I'd try some of this Evapo-rust on my foot pedal bracket ... wow! I should have ordered more than a gallon cuz I couldn't submerge the part completely and had to keep shifting the part. Need a touch up but it's ready for some primer. My ER brake bracket is soaking now!




Though I'd share a product that actually works ....

I'll get some info this week.

Thing is, mine will be run by the FAST EFI controller.
