an alternator upgrade would be wise, esp in warm Cali.

Good luck.

the proform is supposed to be an exact of the black magic. some folks like em' others don't. i suggest either a tuarus 3.8 fan or one form a lincoln mk8. you can get them for about $50-$75 on ebay all day long. these two fans will pull more cfm than whatever is printed on the box for the proform. go to www.dccontrol.com and look at his stuff. i reccomend that if you run(and you should) a controller, that you only buy one from him. don't bother with the hayden or flex-a-lite controller. do it right the first time. other good fans are from spal, derale, and ramchargers.
