these are the fans im using http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...232079135&rd=1
im running the dc controller. best controller on the market and for $120ish you cant beat it. it is a progressive fan controller meaning it starts the fan off slow and speeds it up as the truck warms up. it has 5 preset temps so you dont have to guess what temp your setting the truck at. the slow start is nice because it doesnt create a spike in voltage use like all other on/off style controllers. on top of that, the fans only run at about half capacity in order to maintain the 194* temp i have my controller set to so there is little voltage draw and since i have a large system, i need all the juice i can get. i also bought the dual fan wiring kit with the controller, which was only about $3 more.
temps hit 100* and even with the ac on max power my truck never got above 197*

you come up to anaheim and ill help you hook it up. actually in a week ill be doing a lift, feel free to cruise by.
so far i cant say anything bad about the dc controller. what fox forum are you on. i used to post all the time on mustangforums but havent been around for a while. the temp probe goes in the radiator. i dont like that kinds that just piggy back on the factory temp sending unit like the SPAL controller does. it too is about $50-$60 but i wanted the dc controller so i went with that. my buddy in florida has one on his fox and its hotter then hell out there and his stang runs at 180 all the time.

milage will suck driving up but remember youll get better mpg on the way back with the efans install
the link to the dc controller is www.dccontrol.com/catalog2008.htm
you want part number FK35 (under the fan controller page) and SP-2 (under the acessories page)
