[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16206239, member: 110091"] IMO, I think it violates logic to say the fans, when running, make temps higher than with no fans at all. Worst case, I could see how it can be argued they don't have ENOUGH OF a real world benefit, especially in consideration to the expense, install time, and electrical juice they suck up. From what I saw anecdotally, where the fans make their money is right off idle. When idling, you don't see much benefit from any blower cooling system no matter how good, as there is so little air being passed over the intercooler. Your cooling system could be the best designed thing in the world, and it is not going to matter very much. But, in theory, while you are idling and the IATs are climbing because of that lack of air, the fans are keeping the fluid running through the heat exchanger much cooler than it otherwise would be. So, when you open up the throttle, the IATs are going to DROP FASTER than they would have without fans. Obviously, a better pump would also have them effect. Using both a VMP dual fan HE and the GT500 pump made a very big impact for me on my street car. I didn't try to do exact comparisons under the exact same conditions. I just know that the temps never climb as high as they used to when I'm buzzing around town. And, when I have to sit and idle for long periods of time, they drop very fast after I get back on the throttle. [/QUOTE]
