Those and every other aftermarket fans I looked at couldn't flow as much as the stockers. I believe these are rated at 2500cfm and the stock fans are at 3200 cfm, don't quote me on that though.

Stay with stock. If you have a cooling problem it sure as hell is not the fans, unless they are not working properly. They are excellent and VERY dependable.

This isn't much of a change, but I heard about this:

The stock system has two fans. One with four blades, one with five. One of them flows more than the other, though I can't remember which. I think the 4-blade flows more, but I am not sure. Anyway, you can make them both 4-blades to incease overall flow.
