Cooling issues...

[OrangeCrush]

Okay, where to start....

When I put the supercharger on (Maggie) I installed a two core aluminum radiator. I installed twin electric fans (4600 cfm) but they did not come with a shroud. I thought I was ordering the set and they had shrouds but apparently not.

The recommended place to put an intercooler is immediately behind the grille.

Instead I bought a larger intercooler and mounted it in front of the condensor. (thus making me mount the oil cooler between the radiator and engine)

I then put the transmission cooler where the intercooler should go.

Anyway, the truck runs a hair over 210 (still have the 190-195 thermostat in it, when I put the 160, it overheats)

Today was in the high 90's and the truck ran into the 240-250 range in stop and go traffic.

I guess my question is, Summit racing sells a dual fan (6000 cfm) setup with shrouds.

Do you think shrouds make that much difference?

Thanks,

Mark
