I just picked up a spal 13" fan, its the biggest that i could fit on my stock radiator. It was easy to install just two wires. You just have to figure out which wires turn on the fan. I mounted it with these special zip tires designed to fit through the fins of the radiators without damaging them. 20 minute install and im happy with it, cost me 70 bucks new

I used two Zirgo slim fans on my Fluidyne with the FMIC install and 50 trim. One 12"(1600cfm) for the rad fan and a 10"(1500cfm) for the A/C fan. The Zirgo fans are rated to move as much or more CFM's then the popular SPAL and flex-a-lite for our applications. Plus the pricing is pretty good too.. Just make sure you get the straight blade type, they pull more air. The curved or "S" blade fans are quieter but move less air in general..

Here is a link to the Zirgo site.

Hey Brad, what do you think of those coolant temp control sensor kit (automatically turns on your fans at a preset temp)?
