Not a big deal if you go direct to the battery but my LS harness has everything already built in, but fused to 30 amps. I want to use this part of my harness to keep things clean and orderly so I had to send that fan back and will probably end up with something a little less flow under 30 amps. Something to consider depending on how you are going to wire your fans.
Thanks for the heads up - why not just use the trigger in your harness for an external relay and run the fans you want (spal)? I haven't dug into my speartech harness in a while but am a bit surprised anyone would want to run the main power to the fans through the main harness. Thinking worst case, if you have a fan motor failure it could take the entire harness out with it. I suppose its fused, but still.....

I think cold case is out for me. I do want a rad made here.

Thanks!
