It looks like it could be a strong performer and not too much more than LS1 fans and the Nelson controller.

I used them and they stink, my fans didn't fit i had to do a lot of trimming to get them too fit and they don't seem to pull a whole lot of air for there size.
When its really hot the temp starts to creep up past 210, so I'm gonna bite the bullet and get some flex-a-lites come summer.
They come with a DERALE temp. adjustable kit, but its not rated for the amount of amps the fans pull so they burn up extremly fast. I've had to replace mine and put a high-load relay in-line to keep it from burning up.
I would say get the good brand name stuff, not this.
I regret it.
And when I tried to get thm to warranty the first controller they told me I had to go through DERALE, but DERALE wouldn't warranty it since that ebay seller isn't a liscensed distributor of there stuff.

COOL! Not that you had a bad experience but someone posted a negative explanation that hopefully stopped someone from wasting their money. Honestly, I didn't read one word/sentence in that ebay ad, I looked at that pic with that horribly under sized wire just floating around. If you were selling stuff and trying to look legit, I'd imagine the fans wouldn't be zipped to just the radiator and wires everywhere. I think that pic explains itself. I don't care how smart the seller sounds.

Those look kinda like my "Flexlite" fans.... I have two $40 14 inch fans and three 5 pin relays I paid $15 for plus what ever I spent for wire and connector's. After seeing this and the LS1 fan conversion I would go the same route again in a heart beat.
