Alright, here's what I did. On my 4.7L I pulled out the mechanical
clutch fan and wired my fog lamp switch as an additional trigger to the
electrical fan. From what I understand the E-fan will come on when the
AC compressor is on and if the temp gets over 220ish. But otherwise I
can manually switch the fan on from inside.

This should free up a little HP, lighten up the fron end and give me a
toggle for the fan (handy for ideling inline to race). Most I've heard
is the 4.7 doesn't overheat with out the mechanical fan. I'm going to
go test it now by driving (crawling) over the Sepulveda pass in 93+ degs.

Later things to do is make a 180ish deg trigger for the fan and change
out the T'Stat to 180.
