Default For those of us w/electric fans...

Can you all suggest a good electric fan kit online for preferably under $225 after shipping? I went to California Mustang today, and while the receptionist is cute, and they have alot of good parts, they were fresh out of everything I went there for - a good radiator for $200 and a 15" fan kit that looked like the same thing that MM sells for $230 .

I've been looking on summit but I can't really make up my mind. I see a good looking 15" universal black magic for CHEAP, but it says it's only rated to cool a 225HP engine w/AC and 260 W/O... and I do have AC and plan on making more power.

What do you all think?

Yeah, I was gonna say any fans other than the taurus fan because I was SURE that someone would post that hehe.

No, I don't want a Taurus fan, I'll spend a little bit of money for a kick a$$ setup, someone else must have.

I have a flexalite 220 dual 12" puller fans, they flow 2500cfm which isnt enough, I have a secondary 16" pusher fan and it helps.

get something with an adjustable thermostatic control and make sure it flows more than 3500cfm.

more than 3500 CFM?! Even the new black magic xtreme only flows 3300cfm and it's $280!

The Black Magic m150 moves up to 2800 CFM of air and it's $200 from summit.

Do you all suggest a pusher and a puller with a nearly stock motor? My mods are in my sig, my engine is stock, and I have a few bolt ons, probably pushing 210HP to the wheels if that. I'm putting BBK unequals and MAC pulleys on when I take out my radiator, but is this enough to warrant 2 fans? Is 2800CFM max not enough for this?

I also plan on leaving AC in, so I don't even know if I can put a pusher in. I'm having slight overheating problems... my guess is b/c of an extremely dirty 14 year old radiator. When I cleaned it a bit, it cooled me down a bit, so I'm not overheating right now, just a bit warm.
