My delta pag fans move a ridiculous amount of air, and they have soft start built in.

Consider the Spal Brushless fans. I purchased mine (dual 300watt fans) in 2013 and I have been using them with great results. I also live in AZ (Litchfield Park) and have no issues with a/c blasting cool air in 114 degree temps. Fan controls are built into the brushless motors. No need for relays or add on controllers.

Where do you get the brushless spal fans?

I did a bunch of reading on this topic and it seems more folks are inclined to believe the car should run cooler with the hood in place. The reasoning is that without the hood; there is turbulent air in the engine bay and the high and low pressure areas are defeated. I'll find out soon enough.

The car will run warmer with the hood on 100%.

I’ve seen this graph posted in many places before, with little context as to how the test was ran.

Playing devil's advocate here...
How old is that chart? 20, 30, 50 years old?
What grade oil? Conventional or synthetic?
What type of rings? Cast iron, plasma moly, conventional or Napier cut?
What thickness rings? 5/64 top ring or 1.5 mm?
Just sayin'....

Agreed. Without any real info on the test it’s just a bunch of useless numbers.
