Before I look carefully at your pictures, I'm going to jump in with some advice. Use your Gryphon, now that you have one, to monitor your Cylinder Head Temperature. The Coolant Temperature is not really monitored at all but is inferred from the CHT. The temperature gauge on the dash is really not worth a whole lot, but WILL warn you if the system is about to go into limp home mode by suddenly spiking to full hot.

I monitor my CHT and find that here in Arizona it tends to stay in the 210 degree range during summer driving. If I pull a trailer up a long hill in the low desert, I've seen it get as high as 214 degrees.

Possibly, these numbers will help you decide if your E-fan mod is doing what you want.

Now, I'm going to study what you did! Thanks for posting it!
