Greg, I've been running a Hayden model 3710 for almost a year now. Sitting
in LOOOOONG lights in 110ş weather is no problem, sure the needle rises a
bit but nothing to worry over. I left the stock fan shroud off since there
isn't really a need for it (had to fab a coolant overflow tank bracket) and
she runs a lot cooler when moving. Good time to drop in a 180 tstat if you
havn't already, I'd also suggest a underdrive crank pulley ($50).

With the fan and pulley I picked up ~20hp and a solid 3mpg. I've got some
dyno #'s on my webpage for this mod
