I wanna try the swap to the stock dual fans...or do I just go aftermarket fans with a custom made shroud? Or does anyone make a performance dual fan setup for our cars? I tried looking real quick, and didnt see anything

Make sure your fan is running on both speeds. I noticed mine was running at around 220-230 and then would quickly drop back down to 190. Then climb back up and do the same thing over and over again.
turns out my low speed wasn't working and high speed turns on close to 230 so that's all that was cooling my car. the 2.4l and only the 2.4l has a low speed resistor on the lower left radiator shroud. if you look down you'll see it. mine was internally open causing low speed to not work.

it cost me $35 for a new one. part number 15212798

You can get your fan tuned to run at 100% at whatever intervals. I think at 196℉+ I'm set @ 100% fan output.

Havent popped a fuse yet running like that? I blew one of my 30amp fuses about 3 days into having my fans set like that.

Not yet no, tuner and I set that fan speed last night lol. Hopefully no fuse goes out, but I'll keep an eye on coolant temps.

My high speed fuse popped as a result of the low speed resistor going bad. That'd how I found out about the problem. I really wish these cars had temp gauges that were not part of the DIC. my temps were at 257 when I noticed the temp light sitting in traffic.
