The Porsche set-up has been used for years. There are those who still swear by it.

The horizontal fan set-up has its following, too. The angle of the belt makes me cringe personally, but those who use it and like it have a lot more experience than I.

What I can tell you is I had a DTM on my Super, and will have one on my next Type IV engined GL car. There was never any hype to the cylinder head temps I was getting, and I had a Westach gauge on each cylinder.
