Will I have any cooling issues with my fans mounted in this position?

i think it depends on what type of fans they are (pusher/puller) and how you wire them up (polairty for the motor), i believe.

I don't think you will have any problems with the fans pushing air through the radiator instead of sucking it through........I don't have any personal experience with this but it almost seems like cooling would be more efficient with the fans that way although im sure in the end pushing/sucking doesn't make a big difference.

these fans can be used either or. You just need to switch the polarity and switch the blades around. They are pushing right now.

It is a custom kit. I fabbed all the piping it is all mandrel 2.5". The manifold is a Meng design that I braced. The turbo is a Precision SC54, Tial 35mm HP Wastegate, HKS SSQV BOV, Full 3" exhaust from the turbo to my Greddy Power Extreme 2 exhaust with the bottleneck removed. I have 1 extra o2 bung welded in for the wideband when on the dyno. The intercooler is a PWR piece. Intake manifold is JG Edelbrock, Golden Eagle Fuel rail, 780cc injectors, Golden eagle cam seals, Venom Cam Gears and much more.
