And around and around we go said the one fan to the other fan. 
Ahhh, it's like locking your keys in your vehicle, you feel stupid but, everyones done it at least once.....right?

Yeah, I'm stupid. I could feel that both fans were blowing, and ASSUMED that all weas well. I did notice that the airflow from the grill wasn't near as strong as it used to be. I had my suspicions that it was wired wrong, and thats the first place I looked.

Keep an eye on it.
I still need to do some current measurements when I get a chance, but they are drawing too much current. I am keeping my eye on the permacool ones I have in there now but I think they will be ok since the voltage does not dip at all when they come on and I am using a 30amp fuse. So far so good.

I love my LS1 fans the only problem I had is on the dyno it would get hot so we would have to wait awhile but other than that no problem what so ever

No problems keeping things cool while sitting still in traffic on 100 degree days with the A/C on.
One little gripe about the controller clicking on/off when it reaches the turn off point but, other than that no problems so far.
Engine bay room is gonna be worth it here soon also.

It's been a while since I've had my hand inside any electronics (that was two careers ago), but what little I remember about it told me that if a fuse designed for a circuit blew, there was something wrong with the circuit, either the design or the function. Making a design decision to increase the current capacity of a circuit is an engineering decision that could cause problems - like fire or exploding capacitors - if not immediately, then in the future. I've seen burnt out car carcasses on the side of the road and I would rather not have one myself, thank you very much.
If you guys are having to do things like this, then it sounds to me like electric fans are not ready for prime time. I won't be getting any soon.
