e-fan in front of radiator?
I searched and couldn't find anything besides the regular e-fan threads. Has this been thought of and/or discussed before? I want to keep the stock fan but just add an e-fan inbetween my fmic and radiator to push some air through the radiator. Thanks for all comments.

It works well for me. I use my EMS to have this small fan kick in at a certain temp. It only comes on at the track, really.

right now i have mine on a push configuration.
i have a fluidyne rad and a permacool fan. It doesn't quite cool enough...........left idle'n for about 10 min it get a little too high for me. I will be upgrading to a 16 inch and on a pull once i get my fmic on.
Pull will cool more b/c some of it will be deflected by the rad itself if it's pushed.

I have a spal pusher fan mounted to the front of my AC condenser. It is wired with a PermaCool adjustable thermostat. It is hooked directly to the battery so it runs after shutdown, until the engine cools.

No idea about the CFM on that fan. I does help at the track though...

If you're having cooling problems you could replace the stock fan with a bigger one and just use the stock controls.
Are you actually having problems?

Not problems really, but I like to run pretty cool. I don't have an aftermarket temp. gauge yet, so I'm not too sure. But temps have been getting to 1/2 way up during the day. Really want them below 1/3.
