heres where the fan was located in traffic the temp would climb up and would overheat like bills does if i wasnt moving i had to be going at least 25 and up for a good bit to get it to cool back down with the fan here you can see the whole right side of the radiator and most of the top is not getting any air drawn across it this way

 

heres the fan mounted to 2 pieces of strap steel across the exit to the original fan shroud it is suprisingly rigid and does not flex at all this way

 

and here it is in the truck with about 2" of clearance from the water pump pulley snout

 

 

so far i have managed to sit at idle for almost 30 mins and the temp has not gone over the middle more than about a 1/16" very nice mod if i do say so myself i just dont know why i didnt think of this earlier i may try to add a ring around the fan that has thin rubber flaps on it so that when i drive air will still flow but when the fan comes on they suck shut so that all the air is only coming thru the radiator but will have to see if this works fine this way first for awhile

 

I still need to do that adjustment.

 

I need to put mine back like that. Unfortunately the fan got trimmed to fit the radiator better when i got rid of the shroud and it just doesnt pull air like it used to when it sat a few inches back. Course I think either the motor on mine is going bad or the relay is, my low speed wouldnt come on last night.. And my high speed will randomly kick on (its on a manual switch only)

 

 

Ok don't want to start a new thread but moving out in 2 days to a rental for 6 months to fix credit (didn't know it was bad) then buy an actual house that my brother does not own half of so I can do what I want to it when I want to also may be adding a hemi to my collection the big 4x4 may be getting more lift (37" tires and a 3" body with long arm upgrade) 4.56 gears and clocked transfer case

The new hemi is likely going to be a charger 5.7 or srt8 for the wife's new daily driver

Also I have to get the walbro 400 and my fuel line decided to run AN from tank up y it at intake to two feed rails and connect them with the crossover so I don't starve my passenger side out anymore and make traction bars for the big truck also the big train horn I was talking about at rally I had in my truck is going back on the 4x4 will post a vid and pics later

 

Don't remember if anyone had asked about my cam specs but I found them
Int. Exh.
Gross valve lift. .571 .550
Duration @ .050 219 226
Lobe separation 114

Also found my piston card they are 9.6:1 instead od 9.5 like I thought fully coated with compstar balanced stroker rotating assembly and all Manley titanium retainers/keepers with beehive springs and upgraded pushrods with a modified oil pump

 

Jeez. Keith. I. Wish. There . Was more. Punctuation. Lol.
Nice plans btw

 

I wonder..... Since your cam has a 114 lobe separation. If my 03 computer could run it on the street without any idling problems?

What Manley valve springs are they Keith?

 

Not sure what ever comp rec that the builder use I am sure

Beehive thou I know that

IMO, that has more duration then what I have seen successfully run. But the key is running a 03 friendly cam lays with the 114 lsa, timing at idle, SC3815 does a decent job and raising the idle. Most critical is to get 630-650 rpm idle when warmed up. I'm thinking of trying a 216/216 (Spartan) 113 lsa Good Luck...

 

Greg how do you like the Spartan you have now?

Mario,
IMO the crazy Spartan is a good cam. I really didn't expect it to run as well as it does in my 03. I have no issues with it on the street and it has run 13.97 @ 97 mph with me being the biggest problem. I think it'll go 13.5 with a little practise on my part.

Did you have to do the high idle mod(an 03) to it Greg with the Crazy Spartan cam?

Yes, it's the High Idle Mod I came up with and yes the cam is a crazy Spartan. SC3865/PSC1-003 for tuning, all simple stuff..

 

Well tomm after th track I get to change out my lock and tumbler it just locked up on me yay didn't need this to happen wanted to take truck tomm but oh we'll have the big one

 

just an update the lock and tumbler was a pain in the a** it would not turn so a drill a punch and a big hammer fixed that works great now

 

this is soon to be going back on the big 4x4 i took it off my truck for a little weight reduction and i didnt use it as much as my wife likes too

so i figure lets make use of it again

 

this is a reference to how big it is a standard paint can in front of the short horn this thing can hit 156db easy on 150psi may one day step it to 210 for 163db but that may be a little much i have had horn battles at the tracks with trains

 

another shot from above

 

Thats bad ass right there

 

and the brains of the whole operation

2 viar 400 compressors
1 1/2 air valve staright thru style
1 constant control power supply relay
2 audio dist power blocks to split the power/ground
and a 7g air tank with 7 ports going to add a curly air line for inflating tires if ever needed
