Default 1990 Mustang 5.0, loping idle after electric fan install help

i have a 90 5.0 mustang I DO NOT HAVE underdrive pullies, i did the 3G alternator upgrade and even had my stock small pullie put on so itll spin faster at idle, I installed a contour dual electric fan with a thermal activated controler. The car normaly idles steady at 800rpm and when the electric fan kicks on the idle with surge from 600 up to 900, what can i do to help this issue and if i leave it will it hurt anything. I thought 3g alternator was suppose to be able to support this amp load.

It does but sometimes idling that low it can't make that many amps. Try putting your idle up to 900-1000. Good luck and let us know how it works for you.
