Re: Gonna cost me more $$

The problem with many lower cost fans is the advertised CFM rating is achieved at 14 or 16 volts. In the real world where they are running at 13.5 to 12 volts the CFM they move is lower.

In my opinion 2400 CFM is the lowest I would use on a 400 cubic inch stock engine. On my 401 AMC which is around 310 hp at the rear wheels I have four 1200 CFM Spal fans using a 2 row 1 inch tube aluminum radiator to keep it cool in traffic all year long.
