I had an E-fan in Vegas, it pulled around 1800CFM and went back to the stock fan. in 95 degree heat or higher it could not keep up even get so bad as to make the AC blow hot air. If I was to do it again I would go with a Turus fan and shroud. be sure you install a rely so it kicks on with the AC. I also installed a 180 themistat. When I went back to the stock fan I also installed a 2 row 94 Explorer radiator form Auto Zone and now how the coolest running Areostar around. The E-fan does draw more current and you need to make sure all you cables and grounds are good, mabe even up grade your grounds. The voltage lag at idle so you may consider a larger altinator. The only load you wll have more of is electrical as an altinator only draws 1/4 amp at full load. Car Craft Magizine proved this on a dyno. Is the power you gain worth the money? Thats all a matter of opinion.
