Default new electric fan

well i ordered the proform fan from jegs, 139.99
i got it yesterday and put it in, took about 45 minutes
it works pretty well, my 91 gt never saw above 200 degrees
i felt some more power too

i have a gt40 engine, full intake, full exhaust, u/d pulleys
4.10's, hi stall torque converter, shift kit, kevlar bands in tranny
crane cams ignition box, and i think that's about it

well, to wrap this up
if you were thinking about this fan
i say get it, easy install, bolts right in
no problems with the fit, wiring, comes with everything you need
pulls up to 2800 cfm, 14 amp draw
