kmac/motorsports strut bar and fan delete mod

All,

I have two questions.

1) will the kmac top reinforcement plate (the one that has the kmac black sticker on it) fit with the motorsports strut bar? If so, where does the reinforcement circle go, underneath the sheetmetal strut tower housing?

2) I know that some people have done the fan delete mod, but can you guys really feel a difference? Would there be a problem running that mod AND the evosport underdrive pulleys?
Do you think that running both mods (fan delete/pulleys) and running at THill when it's 100 degrees would be a problem?

Thanks for the info guys.

T

with kmac, the plate that originally went on top of the strut tower with the black sticker, becomes trash. the motorsport bar now takes its place. you may have to grind a little of the stud off to make sure the strut nuts are seated well. i don't have underdrive pulleys but i did the electric fan conversion. my temp has never crossed the middle. i have switches wired to turn them on when i want and also thermal switches on the lower hose to do it automatically if i forget.

I dont think you will have a problem with underdrive pullies and the fan delete mod. Frayed did it for a while, but replaced the fan due to the Texas heat only to be safe. If you want to be safe, then I would add an electric SPAL fan.

I have pullies and will do the fan delete mod once I get the money for the electric fan.
