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.
