Put a factory shroud on(its about 3" too narrow for this radiator), a 6 blade fan, swapped the 160 stat for a 180 stat, and it stays on the thermostat at 4000rpm on the freeway for extended runs...

I started off with the timing through the roof today(where I ended while testing with the electric fan setup), lowered it twice and it never changed the temp...

Going to swap the fan with a derale 6 blade on Monday, and add a little more spacer to put the fan where i want it in the shroud, and will try it again on Tuesday when its warmer...

At this point, I know its going in the right direction...It was climbing continuously after about a mile at 3500rpm on the freeway...You had to pull off to let it come back down, or it would climb till no mans land...
