Shopping For An Electric Fan For My Car

[stangboy]

What is the ideal amount of cfm of air for a fan to move to keep my 363 cool. I found a nice one by CFR. Moves 2300cfm at 12 amps and 12 volts. The black Magic Extreme that LMR sells moves 3300cfm @ 18amps. I'd pay $100 less for the CFR setup (fan, shroud, and controller). Is 2300 cfm enough to keep my 363 cool...even in Louisiana summer heat? I have a Summit 4 core radiator in the car that works great. $342 is a hard pill to swallow for the Black Magic fan but I will if the CFR fan isn't enough. What do you guys think?

I have the black magic extreme and it doesnt keep my 331 turbo cool at all. I dont know if its in the tune or what. Any way i hear alot of people running the twin ford probe fans or even the big Lincoln fans. I got my black magic for 100 used i dont think i would pay the 300 for a new one.

Mark 8 fan works well and they are easy to find at the yards and best of all cheap.

My buddies electric fan on his 351 with a nice aluminum radiator does NOT keep the car cool at all. If I were you, I'd go with the best set up you can afford. Or stick with the tried and true mechanical fan.
