Cooling Fans

[Fubar231]

So i was looking at my motor today, and realized how ugly the stock cooling fan and clutch is on the front of the motor, so it got me looking at electronic cooling fans. The thing i started looking at is about how many cfms is the stock fan, and what would be a good cfm rated fan to get? Daily driving, temps up to 80s-90s in the summer, aiming for 400hp on racegas (should be easy). Just some info, anyone got an idea on what kinda fan i should get though? I was looking at the becool medium preformance fans that were like 1300-1600 cfm i believe. Any input would be great. Also, could i just wire the electric fan back into the stock fan relay?

you can connect the electric fans to the stock electric fan connectors.
When you do they will come on as per spec of the airco temp sensor.

aim for at least 2500cfm. The flexalites are pretty and functional. You can source some fans yourself from used cars but since you're replacing the fans for aesthetics just get the flex-a-lites.

just remember nothing will keep your car as cool and be more reliable than the stock fans. even on a hot day running 450whp.

Well after i made this post i started reading about Taurus SHO cooling fans. There like 3800-4200 CFM and can be made to fit our radiator. I just want to get the big ugly fan blade off the front of the motor, but without comprimising any cooling abilities, or adding some.

It may be ugly but the belt driven fan is simple and time proven reliable. Electric fan cooling systems have multiple failure points.
