soo, should it be pushed or pulled?(efan/intercooler setup)

so i got my radiator about 4-5 inches from my intercooler. the IC pretty much sits right where the AC condensor was. i just bought an efan that can be mounted as a puller or pusher and is rated at about the same cfm either way.

would it be best if i mounted it as a puller, or a pusher, having it right between the IC and rad..?

Use it as a puller. The housing and fan will offer less restriction mounted behind everything.

puller works best in all applications, it is always more efficient to pull air rather than to push it.
