This sounds pretty good.....not too bad to be out a couple hours labor and have e-fans for about 170 bucks
Also, i dunno if this should be something i probably need to ask them. But im going to be running a ASP pulley and i noticed that they have a U/D pulley loop on the controller that makes the fans always run at 10% but it makes them run at 100% with the a/c on.......i was wondering if that would be too much draw for wiring the fans in parrallel or if just having it with the normal 50% on during a/c would be enough.

yes the fk35 is it. i had an underdrive pulley and i left it alone.it never got hot and i have a 160 therm. if it does get warm then the fans will come on faster. it comes with the wiring -instructions-and everything needed.i simply wired my fans together behind the shroud and ran one ground and one hot to the controller. it works great. be sure not to overtighten the nuts on the terminals. they only need a little tightening.
