I know Wes is running one on his big block and he says it does just fine but I don't know if it pushes or pulls

The fans I been looking at are good for up to 260 horse, I have a lot more than that, just wondering if there is a strong enough fan to do the job.

I installed a flexalite fan that I ordered from summit.... it's a 16 inch unit, pulls 2800 cfm, with its own shroud and mounting hardware. I mounted it in the original fan shroud and I've had good results.

I was having cooling problems after putting an A/C condensor and trans cooler in front of my 4 row radiator... I haven't had a problem since.
