upgrade wiring for spal fans

Is it possible for me to wire up my dual 11" spal fans into my factory wiring using my factory relays as well? The instructions say that they use a 30 amp fuse per motor. Is that too much for the factory wiring?

I don't know why nobody has replied to this question but as I see it, you shouldn't have any problem using your stock cooling fan wiring to run the two Spal fans.

The only thing I see that would be a problem, (at least for me it would) is keeping the IMO very high stock on temperatures the fans have.

What is it, something like 225* and 235* ?

Re: upgrade wiring for spal fans

Reading back at your sig., I don't know that I'd want those fans coming on either at such high temps with having a force inducted 383( I didn't realize that in my first response)....the intake charge and heat generated from that combustion is going to create a lot of heat. Are you going to switch to lower rated switches for the fans?
