Default Electric Fan Question

(I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this... so forgive me, or educate me.)

Does anybody have advice on what kind of electric fan set up to get? I've been told that the Taurus fans are good, but the CFM stats on them (1900) is nowhere the Black Magic Extreme (3300 CFM). I need to get my car to run a little cooler... creeps up to appx. 200 or a little more sitting at red lights and makes me nervous.

Thanks for any help.

Steve...

I'd like to know too...the clutch is broken on the factory fan in my car, so it doesn't spin when it needs to. I figure I might as well buy an electric fan since it's $75 to replace the clutch in the factory one.

i have a Tarus fan in mine and it works great! the temp gauge is way further below where it used to be if i just leave it on. i also have it wired up to an adjustable thermostat so i can change when it turns on, which i also love. no reason to push the car at the strip
