Default GTB without fan?

I will be using the ballistic 6.5 for 4wd offroad.

No. And, you must also use the full heat sink and the TransCap module.

You're going to want that fan on there with a 6.5 mod motor. I've used the GTB without the fan on my stock sedan with no problems.

Especially on a 4 wheeler. Generally everything is pretty packed in, not much airflow under the body, and the extra traction loads the motor up more.

I have run my GTB without fan in the summer here in Goergia 90+ with no problems with a 10.5, but a 6.5 I think might be a little to much without fan.

Yep 10.5 I would consider about the limits with no fan in a 4wd car.
