Question Electric cooling fan requirements?

I need to get a cooling fan for my build. When I was researching fans, I read on the Flex-a-Lite website that a 4500 cfm fan is required to cool a V8 engine. There is no way I am going to be able to fit that big a fan into my engine compartment. How strong a fan do I really need?

My engine is a 408W with a Griffin 3-row aluminum radiator. I am also running the dual pusher fans in front of the radiator - mainly for looks as I suspect those are not going to provide near enough airflow to keep my enigne cool.


Thanks,
Pete
