    Stand Alone Harness

    I used BP Automotive on my truck. they make a great harness and were great to deal with as well as fast getting it to me. I plan on using them for my next harness also. they use all new wires crimped to GM specs and they test everything before it leaves.

    2000s hydroboost into a square

    Electric vs mechanical fan

    if it’s staying at 160 now then i would leave it alone, i wouldn’t be afraid of it running up around 210 either. running too cold can hurt the power the motor makes. on my chevelle, it made about 15hp more of it was running 210 degrees instead of at 160 degrees.
