Pete,

I don't remember just what the total cfm of my fans is, but I have been running a dual pusher set up since 1996 and I run it in our 118 degree Summer humid weather. The only time I have ever seen my temperature gauge climb past normal is after a long drive on the freeway and then having to stop and go in traffic and it has never gone high enough to worry about. Most days I keep the fans turned off as I wired them through a toggle switch and my motor needs to run warmer than the fan thermostat goes to in order to make maximum power. Most of the guys around here are runnning whatever fan they can get to fit on their radiators. That 4500 cfm for a V-8 sounds a little like advertisement to me. How many of your street cars with V-8 engines have that big of a fan? I have a 69 Torino Cobra that is bored out to 439 CI. and I use the stock fan that turns off the water pump on it.

Ron
