Smart looking setup.

I took the angle of the mounting brackets, threw a bubble on top, angled the H/E's until it showed level, marked it with a sharpie, done deal

Your heat exchangers are in series on the airflow side, so you need to be in series on the water side also for maximum efficiency. The front exchanger will receive cooler ambient temperature air while the rear exchanger will (for the most part) see the warmer air from the front exchanger. Run your hot water into the rear exchanger first, then into the cooler front exchanger. This assumes that your pump has sufficient pressure to provide full flow in series operation. Series flow will reduce your piping cross sectional area by 50% compared to parallel flow, so series is more restrictive and requires a good pump with sufficient "head" (pressure) to overcome the reduction in cross sectional area.
The quality and workmanship of your project continue to amaze me. Everything is first class. Keep up the good work!

seems like more people like the idea of running them in series over running them in parallel. The Magnuson I/C pump has plenty of power, that thing is a beast
I was running the dual H/E's before with no problems at all. I think these e-fans are going to make a nice difference in traffic, but more importantly in the staging lanes 
Those little buggers flow 400cfm each @ 4 amps, they had the best cfm to amp draw rating when I was shopping for them.

Can you post up a picture of your Evens water pump.
Thanks
