That is the plan but I need to move the rear one spline so I got more to play with. I have drop plates at the back so it’s fully adjustable. It’s on the lowest setting now so more adjustment is needed.

Iv heard that the serpantine pully system grenades fans like a champ. It doesnt allow for any slip on the alternantor pully,and after 5500rpm the fan gets really unhappy. Based on what Iv heard,I think its a bad investment.

Don’t know I have read it’s better for revving motors. I have fitted a rev limiter witch will limit it to 5600 so I think I will be ok.

Your car looks great dude, but to be honest, I preffered the ride height you had here.
