The only crappy part is you don't have the option to cool your engine that way if it comes to it. I feel like you will be fine as long as you bleed the cooling system well. Also get a lingenfelter 160* thermostat since the stock 190* is high and may contribute to getting too hot. I am still running the 190* one and would see around 210 on the dyno so I went into hp tuners and had the both fans turn on at 170*. I hope that helps, PM me if you need more info

Awesome! I figured it wouldn't be too much of an issue. And I am switching to a 160* thermostat and I'm getting the ISR fan shroud and dual fans hooked up individually to two separate rocker switches. My only other question would then be due I loop the heater lines coming off the LS or block them? I've heard there's cooling benefits to blocking them but never seen it done before.
