Re: Cooling and A/C help

pushers work fine. see if you can fit two on there, or if not, use one big high flowing unit like a mark V fan. you can set it to turn on with a temp switch.

i run dual flex-a-lite 16 pushers on my 500 hp ford lightning, and the a/c blows nice and cold, and the truck doesn't overheat in traffic at 100*F outside.
