I did see a bit over 200 last year at PIR when it was around 90 but never approaching 220. That might change if I run on a 100 degree day at my current power level. But yeah, that's why I'm not in a hurry to do many "upgrades" at the moment. If it ain't broke.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I don't think the shrouds ever went solid, Mike. My car has the openings--my PS cooler is mounted in one of them. Are you sure the auction wasn't pawning off parts from a V6 car or something? You know, come to think of it, it seems those with LT1's having cooling problems are mainly older cars with the old fan set-up. I wonder if it's not just the wiring that's different--maybe the newer fans move more air? How loud are your fans? Just one of mine on high speed sounds like a freaking jet engine under the hood.

Insert catch phrase here Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,098 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Michigan Member No.: 20	Are the fans in series in our LT1 engines? Can I remove one of them and still have one working fan? I'm in the middle of doing a few things on the car and the engine isn't running so I'm hoping someone knows before I reinstall everything.
