Hi gang, as I'm working on mounting my radiator and grill shell, I need to look at what fan to use . . .
My kit came with this nice looking, but probably lame Chinese model, most likely from Speedway.

Rated at 120W, which would be 10A.
It says it's 1500CFM, but at 10A, I suspect it's a lot closer to 1200 or so.
From what I've seen in videos, that's barely adequate for a plain Jane SBC crate motor on a cool day.
As a better option, I found this one on Summit, that's got the look I like to go with all the bling on the car, and should actually move enough air for my monster motor.
(not too excited about the cost, but if that what it's going to take, might as well bite the bullet up front)

For you guys using electric fans, what do you think of the Be Cool model I like, what are you using and what's been your experience . . . . also, how much motor are you cooling, and how does it do on a hot summer day . . .
Thanks in advance,
Darlene
