E-Fans SUCK!

Blew 2 relays today and before I knew it - OVERHEAT! Thats the second time this summer. These ****** efans are a serious PITA!
I started with the Nelson harness, then had that repaired about a 18mos ago, now I'm on my third set of relay harnesses!!!! I switched to Bosch relays this time, but looks like the hi-speed relay harness is completely fucked over....clutch fans rule!

Never had a problem with my Blackbear harness. If you're gonna stick with the E-fans, I'd recommend the Blackbear harness. I haven't heard of a single problem with theirs.
That being said, LS1 fans didn't work for me....215+ at the track (air temps were only in the low 70s), and in the summer heat was pushing 220 at times stop and go traffic, best it could do was 207*. Now, clutch fan back on, temps stay constant around 194-198*. There is a teeny noticeable power loss with the clutch fan, but I'll gladly take that any day of the week knowing that I have reliable cooling. There was no way I was going to risk towing with the E-fans.

I had issues with my original harness. Caught before it failed. I built my own. These things pull big amps and need big wires and good relays and bases.
Had the e-fans for about 3 years and they never failed to do their job.
