Do you need all those fans for cooling, or is it just for extra piece of mind?    I see you are not far (for Texas) down the road from me.   I'll eventually be dealing with heat as well.   But I have a NA engine from Joe Huff.   Is your's turbocharged?   Is that the source you think of extra heat if that's what  you're dealing with?

Couple of things forced me into these extra fans.  I am turbocharged and I forgot about the intercooler fan as well.  I am in south Texas and I am going to be training my bride to hover.  I found even at 75-80 degrees that five minutes was best were all I could get before water or oil or both were approaching redline.  I replaced the oil cooler and moved it to external of the radiator and it has two built in high CFM fans.   I added a second water radiator on the belly.  And I have a second oil cooler in the belly that also has a fan.  All these extra fans are switched.  

After none of this worked, I took the engine to Joe Huff and he found out the guy that did my turbo upgrade screwed it up and the engine was eating itself up and this was where most of my overheating problems were coming from.

Anyway, I find now that with all fans on I am getting an alternator warning light which means I am overloading it.  So, I want to upgrade my alternator.  Easier than pulling all these extra fans out.
