I have yet to try it, since plans changed and I will stick with original fan setups.

but as far as I remember (I did some homework), you need new S2 radiator upper brackets for both sides as it's a little wider. the fan mount is different as well so u gotta keep that in mind. and also u gotta rewire it with relays (its not hard, if you know how of course) to keep the speed right.

Thats my normal temps with stock fans, shrouds and motors. Actually it never really goes over 207.

low profile (what I have). Either one fits just fine, we have 4 locals running these. Personally it was the best cooling mod I have installed.

Oh but don't get the one with the VSC, it's not needed.
Vouching for the FAL setup, I live in a tropical humid weather and this is by far much more efficient setup. Sidenote, this is with a KOYO V-core rad too, lol

Dude temps in NY was 83F or so today?

My outside temp is 95F-103F today!

when it's night time my temps come to 180F-190F Outside temp 80F right after the fans shut on/off at 190F

I'm running FAL 490's 1 step up from 9ks setup. 3k cfm. Its a ******* tornado under my hood when they kick to high.

Highest temp recorded? It's whatever I set the fans to turn on high for lol. Never goes over.
