Looking at getting a fluidyne radiator and a more efficient fan. This tx heat is killing me, lol. There seems to be a variety of fans to choose from and am not sure what would be better if any.

Also, where would be the best place to order from?

The stock electric fan should be just fine for any setup. I've heard of chevy cavalier electric fans keeping supercharged applications cooled fine. If you're having problems keeping cool, then you should fix whatever the problem is instead of "Band-Aid'ing" it by putting a different fan in.

I.e.: I live in Tucson.. much hotter here and the traffic is terrible.. all 3 of my electric fan vehicles I can let idle all day with a/c blasting with no problems (stock rads.)

I know you have some upgrades that maybe make you run a bit hotter, but your stock stuff should still be keeping you cool.
