Default Adding Fans to Premium HD Oil Cooler

I have noticed that they are selling a dual fans add-on kit for Premium HD oil cooler.
If anyone has added these fans to the HD oil cooler, please share your experience.
Thanks much in advance

I use a fully shrouded puller and ther is no evidence of air flow restriction, I'm seeing an improvement in cooling even at highway speed. Seriously considering developing an add on kit for the HD cooler, but I cant even get my current project moving fast enough.

Hay fabrik8r, I think you will have a long list of customers once you get your oil cooling system in production.

Thanks for the info.
That will be stored for future uses.
I am very leaning toward the HD cooler, if the after market add-on fans are good enough, beside I like the "turbulator" technology. The second reason is the price of both items is still less than any other oil cooler with fan in the market.
Hopefully, someone have used these fans, and they will share their experiences.

I have the Big Sky Fan on the HD oil cooler. Nothing wrong with the product and how it was packaged but I would not buy again. I also wander if the fans restrict air flow on the oil cooler.
