electric fan
how many cfm does the stock clutch fan pull and what would a electric have to flow to be effective?
i found one i want to get and i think its like 1675 cfm would that be enough?

With an electric fan replacement there are the issues of the considerably higher amperage load on the stock alt, and if the fan chosen is a poor choice, there is potentially problem of overheating or improper cooling.

Big waste of time and money to replace the stock fan unless you have a bad fan clutch.

As far as the amperage load, if its done correctly (temp controlled relay, etc..) the load isnt as EXTREME as a constantly running fan. I just dont think anything can cool like the stock fan can.
