The mishimoto fan shroud is garbage as it blocks the area around the fans. You want to allow the air to flow through the shroud so it can dissipate the heat while at cruising speeds. Usually the only time you need the fans on is at idle or at low traffic jam type speeds where there is not enough air movement to blow through the radiator.
1200 cfm would be enough. I dont know what my fans are, but i know they are two inch thick spal units. One is about 12 or 14 inch with curved blades. The other is 10 or 12 inches with straight blades. I think these are in the 900-1200cfm range

Yes, you'd be surprised how much of that stuff is re-branded. There is absolutely NO difference.

My car is overheating slightly at speed. It doesn't overheat at idle. I have a fullblown radiator with fans and I use Honda blue coolant. I've bleed my coolant system more times then I can count so there has to be something else causing this.

Do you like the shell? I was thinking of running the T6 with my setup. S200sx fmw on flex fuel

1SlowSi, is that 800 miles your saying becouse of E85? Care to explain why or send me a link as to why so short of interval changes?

I change it so often for easy/cheap insurance really. 800 miles on my car takes a couple months and its only $20-25 a change. E85 tends to contaminate the fuel and the ethanol will break down the oil faster than regular gasoline. Im sure at 800miles the TN rating for the oil is still usable/acceptable...im just anal like that. Honestly, I used to take it up to 1500-2000 miles but the oil would come out looking thin and with a strong smell of alcohol/ethanol.
The ONLY way to figure out what mileage to change oil would be to run it at a certain mileage, send it in for oil analysis, and see what the TN rating is and what they say in the notes as far as how many miles more you can go.
