Once I do, I'll definitely take your advice.
BTW, with the E-Fan and the CAI mod I made, I'm gettin' 14 mpg. Before them I was averaging 10-12 mpg.

Holy cow! That's a whopping big increase in economy!
Those are great pictures and a nice bit of engineering/fabrication, in my opinion. One in your Gallery showed me how you connected the metal "reducing" shroud to the stock one - I'm glad you posted that one, because it was the only question I really had.
I suspect you and I are seeing similar temperatures on the road. As I've said, the CHT stays VERY stable, once the engine warms up. And, I can't see any reason at all to monitor Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) since it is just a "shadow" of the CHT. If you want to have heart failure though, monitor your oil temperature when the engine is under load! Oil temperature climbs rapidly under high RPM load conditions and quickly moves from near the CHT value to around 240+ degrees! I think the oil is doing a lot to dissipate engine heat.
Nice job too wiring the fan to the A/C or to temperature as seen by a thermostat.
All in all, a great mod! Nice post, AgentOrange!
