Think low would be enough to cool the engine. I've heard that low is plenty to cool just looking for opinions

Oh yea. I don't think my high speed fan ever comes on. My temps stay 5* less now than before with just the one 14" fan

Feel free to post some of yalls setups too

I put in a single 19" 2 speed fan mounted in the factory shroud. I run the low speed off the controller and then made a switch using a relay for the high speed fan connected to the a.c. Forgot to take pics but it came out nice.
