im looking at e fans but on the side it says 1000 cfms and so forth

CFM stands for cubic feet/minute. With a fan, this number is how many cubic feet of air the fan can pull through it in one minute. I'm not sure how many CFM's is needed. I think anything over 1500 cfm would be plenty, but do a search. This topic has been covered many times.

Too low on flow. 1500 cfms or better, especially in Texas. Honestly, the stock setup works very well.

I was able to listen to it when I set up a big antenna with an amplifier.

im running 2 9" fans on mine that pull a total of 2200 cfm.
its never given me any problems but im afraid it might if i was using A.C. . but then again im still running the stock radiator that probably needs to be cleaned out.

i dont know what cfm mine is but i have the tarus SVO fan and live in pheonix and it does a great job with my a/c on, picked it up for 10 dollers out of a junkyard.

Flex-lite Black magic is over 2000 cfm and this 15" fan is a great fit. T'stat control included.

I personally have a fan from a 91 ford escort. The blade design is similar to many aftermarket fans.

Volvo 850 Turbo fan here. The gauge sticks at 1/4 the way up, if that...no matter how hot it gets outside.

thanks for the info

Did I mention it's a near perfect fit from the top of the radiator, to the bottom of the oil cooler? all you need to cut out is the corners for the rad inlet and outlet.
