'95 F-150 track ready street beast

Funny you mention this, and thank you for bringing it up. Andrew and I went back and forth for almost half a day when he told me this monster existed. I had just received the C7 fan and I was concerned the smaller shroud wouldn't be enough. I came within 30 seconds of returning the C7 fan in favor of the CTS-V unit. They both offer the same features (Spal brand, speed flaps, plug, low price, etc.), but the CTS-V fan definitely comes very close to being a perfect fit for my radiator core. Had I known about it up front I would have easily gone with that. Maybe down the line I'll swap if too good of a deal comes up, but this C7 fan has already been VERY impressive. I did make sure to leave enough length on my wires to reach just in case.

The other day I drove around town for food and had the AC blasting on a 111 degree day. The highest temp I saw the entire time was 197 and it came straight back to average 193-195 for the rest of the drive. Fan speed still never went over 65%. These modern pwm controlled fans are incredibly good at maintaining stable temps! I don't baby this thing when I take it out either.

Dewitts takes one and modifies it to fit their shroud to replaced the C7 fan with so theres that. The C7 has some cooling issues, but its not because of the fan or radiator. It doesn't have very good air flow from the front and add in the condenser and heat exchanger and you get a C7 Z06 that over heats on track days. The draw back you have with that fan in your car now is it does't cover the whole surface which makes some hot spots in the core. You could build a bigger shroud for your C7 fan to save money. They do sell the rubber flaps to add to it so the air blows through when driving and the fan off. Seeing as you're only at 65% PWM you should be ok, the hood vents are really helping out there too. Start stop traffic with the A/C on would be something to double check as well, I've seen lots of cars that are fine with normal driving and some aggressive driving get hot in traffic.
