Same here. Never had issues when supercharged. My stock 34" is fine, but I also have dual 16" Spal fans.

I have a SPECTRA PREMIUMCF12038 for the electric fans. It gets a bit warm with the stock radiator. It will get over 200F in bumper to bumper traffic.The previous owner did replace the radiator. Hopefully he had put in the correct one. Just upgraded the radiator today.

I will only use Spal, they tear airflow through an actual radiator where as other companies advertise free air cfm.

gotta use the HO relay kit as well, but it’s totally worth it.

Thank you! I am going to be scoping out a new project vehicle this weekend so with some luck I will be needing them!
