My car is definitely running cooler than before... fan is dope.... I have so much more room between my headers and radiator now too.

is the fan plug and play? How do they compared to FLUIDYNE?

The fan was already attached when I got mine. The only thing that needed changed on the radiator was the plug. I cut the factory plug off the old fan and attached it to the new fan. Not plug and play but almost.

From what I understand the fluidyne is better due to the thickness. Combine that with one of the Fal fans and you are good to go but it will cost more too.

How important are good radiators? I know they cool the car... but I've never seen my temperature go even half way (with OEM, and a plastic aftermarket.

By the way, the C&R radiator keeps my temperature about a quarter of the way up... and when I'm cruising on the highway, about 1/8th of the way up. Car is definitely running cooler.
