Alright guys most of you know that the 450's run hot, well in reading someone else's thread i stumbled upon this web site that has cooler fan switches, what do you guys think of installing one of these in a radiator or an ESR temp gauge, the thermostat on a 450 open's at 185 and is completly open at about 200 deg, the fan switch does not open until 230 deg, if you put this in the hose after the thermostat or on the top tank of the radiatior it will turn the fan on when the thermostat opens about half way better cooling the coolant entering the radiator, what do you guys think of this idea? here is the info on the switch.
