That's a good point. Assuming the radiator is good, I would try a 7-blade fan. A restrictor also means that the coolant is staying in the block longer. It may be self-defeating. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. As Brad said, a shroud also helps quite a bit. You can also have an air dam down below to help force the fan to pull air through the radiator rather than from under the bumper.

Have you heard of people putting restrictors on the return side of the radiator to do just that? But unless the radiator is new or obviously in perfect condition, I've always found that the best place to start with a heating problem. My .02. ER John Nasta wrote: > Try a smaller WP pulley.
