Is 2300 cfm enough to keep my 363 cool? I found what seems to be a nice fan, shroud, and adjustable controller for a little over $200 rather than the almost $400 for the Black Magic fan. The fan I found only draws 12 amps compared to the 18 amp draw of the Black Magic fan, but the Black Magic moves 1000 more cfm.

What you guys think? I will have a/c on the car if that makes a difference.

From my understanding 2300 cfms is only rated to about 300hp (more hp=more heat) so if you have under that or dont plan on going past that that fan will be fine. I wish I could tell you more about the Black Magic fan but I plan on buying one as soon as I get back from my deployment

get either a Taurus or MkVII fan. They each flow well over 3000CFM. Couple that with a flex a lite 33054 controller and you have a tried and true setup that is OEM quality, dependable, and cheap. You can find these fans used in jy's for $30 or less, or new for around $75. Google for "taurus fan install" for a good writeup.
