Efan Black Magic confusion

I've done some searching and have found two different flex-a-lite fans that I'm still a little hazy on.
There is the Black Magic Extreme:
http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/pric...k_Magic_Xtreme
which boasts higher cfm and more shroud cover
or one of these more standard models:
http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...5&autoview=sku

I'm not sure if the extreme is simply over kill or not. I do eventually plan on breaking 350hp and would like the fan I buy now to support that. In fact, I'm not even sure the Extreme will fit correctly since the shroud is slightly larger than the fin area of my koyo rad (height wise).

Anyone who has already been through this and could steer me in the right direction would be highly appreciated.

The Flex a Lite extreme pumps out a few extra CFM (300?), and the shroud has to be modified in order to fit the radiator (not a whole lot).

The Black magic fans, works like a champ; even though the shroud only covers 85% of the radiator.

Here is a kicker, Proform fan:

Same as the Felx a Lite Black magic, at a lower price.
