What cooling fans are you using on your 5.0. Electric vs mechanical

"It's a great set up that works really well to keep the engine cool and for great functioning a/c."

Michael - From the above, it sounds like you have only the dual Spals in place, between the rad and the engine, to handle airflow through both the rad and the a/c condensor. Thus I guess that you have done away with the pusher fan mounted on the front of the condensor? I am in the process of remounting the condensor and rad farther forward in my car to gain some depth for the fitting of a proper shroud, and if your setup proves that the pusher fan may be superfluous, then I may remove it sometime later (after DCcontroller and optimized fan) for simplicity's sake. Of course, it might be that a pusher fan would cool your condensor better and thus get you lower temps from the vents? Heck, I dunno; just musing....
