Default Electric fans

Has anyone installed a Black Magic fan and have 300-350 hp with stock radiator? I was told I need a Flexalite extreme duty for 300hp using stock radiator, and for 350 hp I need that fan and a alumium radiator.

i was looking at the new black majic extreme for my car since it flows 3300 cfms compared to the regular fan with only 2500 cfm.

summit has aluminum radiator custom fit for fox stang on sale for 309 bucks
part number
bci-65011
a cooler therm and highflow water pump and a dual puller fan would be optimum but if you have your heart set on the black magic go for it.

i had a three core that works good too but it will not lower you front end wheight, so an aluminum will be lighter and alum dissapates heat better. so you get what you pay for
