how ever i will give you this. You sir are 1/2 right. reasoning being is simple. say that i used a thermostatic switch as opposed to the high / low switch i currently have. while making a simple trip say a 100 mile trip. "i see that being reasonable" Sure there are a good amount of cfm's coming thru and cooling system. keeping the motor in operating temp. as i either start to come up an incline or up a bridge. more power is needed and more heat in generated. the cfm's are now not efficient to cool the system. so the thermostatic switch looks at the fans and says yo my niggas ya'll be needn to help a brotha out and then in turn they look at the switch and say fo sho, my nigga. Chances are pretty good that you wouldn't even notice this process happing while driving yet it does. even for a fraction of a minute or two.

but shit im getting like all uber tired. i need to take my black ass to bed before i say something wrong. chances are pretty good that might happen.

i'm not trying to start a new argument or anything, but....

you are also half right. at 60 mph (way below what any of us would normally do on the highway) the natural flow of air is about 5,280cfm, at 70 mph it goes up to 6,160 cfm and at 80 it goes up to 7,040 cfm. still far more than the average flexalite setup or even a (gasp) clutch fan.
