For a car that was routinely running 200-210° I'm pretty happy thus far.

I have a 19.5" fan that I can install rather than my 18.5" so i will toss that on there.

If I ever decide to upgrade further, I'll do a new radiator and then install the fan shroud I have, which is why I don't want to hack it up now.
