Makes it so the current isn't running through the fan controller . Eventually this winter when I put my fast xfi in I'm deleting the fan controller and the ecu will control it .

What fan controller are you using? I think you said the fans don't draw very many amps at start up and continuous run. Based on that I wired my Contour fans straight through my FAL controller that has a 60% power up and slowly ramps up to 100%. FAL says their controllers can handle up to a 40amp start up draw. I thought I'd throw this out there for @stangboy as an option. The FAL also turns the fans on for 30 seconds after you turn the ignition off. If the FAL controller didn't have the "soft start" I would've ran a relay to help with the sudden surge of power being drawn.Makes it so the current isn't running through the fan controller .

The Flexalite controller for the BM extreme 185 . And I did the relays for if and when the ac makes it back on the car to also add a condenser fan the wiring is there .

I think it slows/turns off and on the pump to help with fuel boiling
No it's like a PWM for the pump . At lower rpm it slows the pump down to keep the heat down.

Sounds nifty, I'll have to look into one. I'm guessing you got it from someone who decided they didn't need it?

I have a Mark VIII fan and it has a pretty hefty amp draw at startup. i just have a large inline fuse right now but I'd rather use a relay.
Definitley need a heavy duty relay with that fan . They are known to burn

@MikeH686 . You were saying automatic what ? Full weight , stick car driven in traffic first pass right out of tech . [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]

I can't even begin to describe what a night this was . Sat in traffic pissed on the way thinking it was a bad idea to go . 90 degrees , 50 percent humidity. Air was just . Get there tech - let the car cool off for maybe 20 min . Adjust the shocks and struts . Air down to 17-18 psi .
Make the first pass I do a burn out I'm in a complete rush so I slap the limiter which I had upped to 7400 the night before .
Go to launch making a solo pass and let it go right around 6800 ish I would guess . Felt like it just hooked and was gone . I felt it pull the tire a hair . Shifted the out of it . Hit the stripe and literally f u c kin screamed cuz I knew I did it . Got the slip and went nuts .
Made two more passes but they sucked . Second pass guy stopped me under the tower told me to slow it down and **** my head up . Burn out wasn't long enough . I slipped off the shifter going into 4th and never went in . It was a show
Kris had me put a little more power in it too over the phone . Next run did the burn out left and didn't slip it enough . It spun . I shut it down at 660 ft and called it a night . I got what I wanted . Was 3490 with me in it . So 3290 with tools and the stereo including the sub all in the car .
I have so many to thank . Nick @84Ttop being one of the top guys for all the advice , help , and sincere friendship . Same goes for @93TRANSAM - couldn't have done it without you working the magic on the tuning , all your advice and of course sincere friendship .
My engine builder , all my close friends - Paul , Andrew , Scottie etc who lent a hand here and hand there when I needed it in the garage to do certain things . Everyone on this board who's ever helped and followed the progress . Really it means the world to me .
Today my dad would've been 50 . He's gone 17 years . So there wasn't a better day this could've happened on .
