JimmyJ, I'm by no means an authority on the Pantera, but, I remember at least (1) thing about them........ which hit me when I got mine last year........ cooling.
Mine came with the (2) original fans, one was the upgraded one, the other the 4 blade, and just didnt cut it at all. (now Im in the Atlanta area where it can get hot, and humid). Pushing air into the radiator versus pulling it through just isnt the same. You can "feel" the difference in-fact.
I switched to (2) 12" sucker fans on the rear and there was a HUGE difference. I will still switch out the radiator to alum later this year fyi.
Now. Mine are individual Derale's, and are great. If I had to do it again I would look for a dual shrouded setup that would be more effective. (even though the derales are shrouded themselves). A dual shrouded has a much better coverage area.
