Default Black Magic Fan

Well, it finally came in. I ordered it last Tuesday evening, and 6 days later on a 3 day UPS ground delivery, it's here. I dropped that sucker in, and took it for a test drive last night. I thought that I had wired it wrong because the temp gauge was over half way and it still hadn't turned on. I get home, all ticked off, and then I realized that I forgot to back the adjustable thermo down at the desired temp... . I drove to work this morning and the temp barely went over 1/4 hot, but wouldn't you know it, we're in a cool spell w/ temps at a very fresh and cool 85 F. Still, I have a lot of confidence in this fan...I can feel the power that's been freed up, and I had to let off the gas to keep from spinning out in 2nd gear taking a rolling corner ! I have a feeling that my next investment is going to have to be a new set of rear tires... Simple hardware installation, but I've always hated crimping and running wires. Oh well, at least the kit is complete, and that made the wiring tolerable...

Much gratitude to all those that offered input and advice. It was all good!!!

Next two mods are shorty headers and 3.55's. Hopefully by the end of summer. Any advice for after those next two steps. I'd like to keep her a daily driver. I don't want to lose mpg's.

Oh, current mods on 92 GT:
Removed air silencer (your tips)
K&N box filter (your guidance)
Removed Cats
3 row radiator 80/20 mix + water wetter
180 F. thermostat (your tips)

Auto specialties Crank/H20 pulleys
Bypassed smog pump(your tips)
Trying to get hold of timing light to advance timing to 14*
