Yeah. When I installed both of mine, I just raised the idle rpm about 50 rpm. I have had no charging issues whatsoever. The voltage drops a little at idle, but its not bad, at speed, it charges to the correct voltage.

Yep, I raised my idle about 100rpm to help the alternator charge when the fans kick on.

Call Greg over at G & R Auto parts 1-800-678-3377 x104. He has brand new complete 05 OEM fan setups for much cheaper than you can piece them together for ($220 shipped!). He also has plenty of new OEM 34" radiators as well. Tell him Shawn sent you. You can get the plug and play wiring harness complete with correct connectors from nelsonperformance.com and let your PCM control the fans just like the 05s.

I disagree with your opinion. Electric fans and pullies together will yield 20+rwhp.
