Electric Fans

[Russell]

He guys, finally got some new motors and got the bottom part of my fans secured to the rad support. I fired the truck up without the flex fan on it, and let it get up to its normal temperature, then turned the fans on. They kept the truck at its normal temperature. I then decided to see just how good they would do, and revved the truck up to a constant 3000 rpm for a minute, the fans couldn't keep up, and the truck came close to overheating before the two fans managed to cool it down a bit more.

Now, I'm a bit worried that if these fans can't keep up at 3000 rpm for about a minute, that they won't be able to keep up at an idle with it being 95 F outside... I noticed that there was a large amount of air coming out from the side of the rad (infront) rather than going through, would a home made shroud help at all, or should I just scrap the whole try and mount them up front idea and put them in on the other side (heck of a lot of work to try and make some brackets there...)? They blow a whole lot more air when they are mounted properly, while running em this way moves quite a bit of air, they don't blow nearly as much air down the center of the fan, just the outsides...
