the main problem some ppl have with the thermal units is if there is too much gap between the rad. & clutch it does not come on soon enough. same thing with not having full shroud.
I personally cannot think of a reason to use the centrifugal type. by the time they engage you are going fast enough to have airflow without it.
what it comes down to in my opinion is either run electric or thermal with fan 1/2 way into shroud.
hopes this helps clear things up a little
