Eletric Fan question

ok i got a 95 f-150 5.8L 351W Im looking into getting a eletric fan. My question is how much CFM do I need? The truck is just a daily driver but looking to increse the perfomance a little bit. Pullys, Eletric Fan, and later on am going to add an upper and lower EFI Intake probably edelbrock and some headers. What do you guys suggest?

Stick with a stock type thermostatic clutch fan. The E-fan is a waste of $$$ and more trouble than anything. Despite all the advertising hype they do not save anything.

I have had very good luck with electric fans. The main key on your truck is how large a fan you can fit. On my bronco, I think i had to go with one 14" and one 12" fan to get on there, and even then the coverage was not the best.

You will not see a performance gain by installing a electric fan. You will gain easier access to the front of your engine and it will not roar when you start it up.

BTW - I installed the dual fan kit in my truck and like it a lot.
