what cfm's is the fan and are you running a shroud? is the fan pulling or pushing? is runng hotter at low speeds or while cruising? alot of times when changing to electric fans you will find it doesn't flow enough or cover enough of the radiator which will not allow enough cooling.

I dont know what CFM it is it pulls the air and it covers the whole radiator. As long as the car is Idealing it is fine once you start to drive it gets hot
