Y'know, that fan in front of the radiator really seems to bother people. Yours is like the 5th or 6th time that question has come up.
I have my trans cooler mounted on the engine side of the radiator and there just isn't enough room to mount the fan as a 'puller' so I mounted and wired it as a 'pusher'.
I don't run a thermostat, well I have one installed but knocked out the center of it so it acts more like a restrictor. I've had the car out on the street a 1/2 dozen times or so and at the track once. Temp never gets over 150 even with the fan off. I run straight tap water with a pint of Purple Ice wetter.
I think the injection aids in the cooling as it is gulping air like nobodies business, and the fine mist of gas (not alcohol) coming out of the injectors helps keep the cylinder temps down.
Sorry for the long winded answer to a good question.
