Upping the coolant flow may or may not work, too fast and you're not transferring enough heat as the coolant cycles, too slow and you are losing the opportunity to shed more heat. Again if it's a problem I may have to play around with that. I think I'm going to be alright though as I should be relatively close to the stock FC specs. I'll have to see once it's up and running.

Yeah you seem to be close enough to spec so I would think a half puller on each for emergency use will be fine. That way you get the best of both free air and forced air when needed.

I see a lot of non clutch fan converted to E-Fan race cars and they all run the fans to the oil cooler. If temp gets around 180 while idling kick on the fan and the temp just drops.
