That second number is the whole argument for this bundle: the cooler can only shed the heat that the shroud and fan push through it. Add the welded race fan and the air side of the system is built to hold up at the RPM a built motor actually sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth saying plainly: those are outlet temperatures, not sump temperatures. Your sump temp still depends on your tin, your timing, your jetting and how hard you drive it.

Leave it out and the fan pushes air past an expensive part instead of through it. It's in the box.

The welded fan earns its keep above roughly 5,500 RPM, on strokers and big-bore dual ports, and on any engine where a fan failure inside the shroud would be expensive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIs hardware included?\u003c\/b\u003e The cooler comes with its Hoover bit air tin and Elring seals.
