That stuff smells worse than old differential oil.

I’m interested if I can keep my current fuel system although my tuner is out of business. I had an SCT Xcal 3. New guy is use uses HP tuners I think.

I’d say get a good tune, 60-80 pound injectors, and bigger pumps. That’s the route I’m gonna go.
I’ll probably have to buy a tuner as well I don’t think he tunes with SCT.

Not 100% sure yet. Was going to use in my Fox but that car needs a whole ground up build. I have two 04s, a twin turbo/auto and this one. If I do it, it will definitely need a 3.0 Whipple.
I did it when the car had 21K miles on it 13 years ago, and it stunk awful then. Car now has 62K miles, and it was darker than the last change, but didn't stink as bad. Weird.
Did a little more work on a project I've had in mind. I played with the wiring a little after mounting the fan. My main concern is how I have to wire the fans as I don't want the circuits backfeeding to the other and killing the CCRM. I'm thinking diodes in line with the circuits.

That must be somewhere near Minkler Road..?
It's right off it, behind me is White Tail Ridge golf course.
That’s odd. I did mine a few years back was probably original was black and stunk.

Have you had issues with it back feeding? How big of a diode would you need for that amperage?

I haven't made it that far yet. The Contour fans only have two leads for the motors. The Cobras have three. The high speed on the Contour just bypasses the resistor. I'm not sure how the Contour harness is set up. I did find out yesterday that when high speed is powered up there is voltage on the low speed. Maybe it won't hurt anything since it goes to the relay in the CCRM, but I'd rather not take a chance. I found an automotive rated diode on Amazon and it's on the way. Well, two are on the way. Once they show up I'll actually build a harness.
How much of a depth difference do the contour fans take up vs the factory fans. I was looking into them to replace the factory fan on my 3 row. Was going to do a mark 8 fan but most are old and I have had a mark 8 blade snap before.
Since the contour fans can be had new and seem to be just as good as the oem’s unlike the replacement mark 8’s they would be easier to replace. Any good write up on the CFM vs a mark 8 as well? I much preferred the twin fan option as it gets airflow over the radiator as a whole as opposed to a single blade.
I assume a single blade fan would work great as long as it had a good shroud on it.

Malcolm has a couple videos talking about the ccrm, some videos about fan speed controller installs, and he also did a contour in a foxbody. He just recently posted a video about a mk8 fan in an 03 cobra and how to wire it in. The mk8 is also a two wire fan.
According to LMR the Contour fan is good for 3500 CFM. I won't take it as gospel, but I can say it moves a lot of air from when I had them hooked up to the battery charger for testing. I think they're about the same height overall, but having the fans offset will give a little extra room I think.
Two of the reasons I went with the Contour set up is because you can still get them new and because of the shroud. I want something with a shroud to help with airflow.
Those videos are what got the gears turning. I mentioned the Contour fans in one of his comment sections. Eventually I'm going to go with the fan controller since I have the MS3. But I'm trying to figure this out in a stock type set up to hopefully give us another option down the road.
