If youve got a half *** modded or stock car, anything will work really.
I got the mark 8 because it pull's the most air period. Mine was $75 off ebay, delivered to my door. I got the DCC controller also.
DCC run's the fan at 20% power from the time i turn on the car because i have underdrive pulley's, and as it approch's 180* the DCC slowly ramp's up the power of the fan. (slowly add's more speed, instead of on/off which spike's the amps. It only use's the power/speed needed to cool the car)
Ive only had the fan come on close to full power once when i got dumb and turned it off and drove around a few block's and started to overheat the motor.
I flicked on the switch (i have mine rigged to where i can turn it on at the track, or turn it off if id like) and it pulled so much air you could feel air being sucked from infront of the grill with the hood closed.
the Mark VIII is also wisper quiet which is probably my favorite thing about it.
need i say more?

the jegs fan says 2800cfm, thats low compared to the taurus and mark and contour fans, but i dont really know what amount of cfm is too little either.
do you have a 3g alternator? you might want one if you run any fan. they can draw alot of juice.stock alt is only 75 amps a fan dras 20 or more amps usually.
by the way i noticed a differance losing the heavy azz clutch fan. jegs says 15hp gain. its more than that if i noticed it. underdrives are supposed to be 15hp i didnt notice a thing but better gas milage. a guy said he notice a big power differant, more than when he installed a cobra intake!

Its a no-name fan. we are giving you the exprences we have had. we have tried fan's and know they work.
your going to buy this thing not even knowing that it is, or how it works.
It's your money, do what you want. but it might not turn out like you think.

Mark8 fan is reliable, quiet, and flow's a hell of alot of air.
you can get them for $75 to your door from ebay. IF you spend the money, and get a DCC controler, it will run that fan better then OEM controllers do.
Mine is wisper quiet, and i use to have REALLY bad overheating problem's and they have gone away. my car use to overheat if i sat in traffic for more then 5min. and ive NEVER had the car go over the 190-200* mark sence installing the fan.
