Taurus 2 speed fan question

I got a free taurus 2 speed from a friend. I need to know how many amps it pulls so I know what size relay I need. I thought of just using the low speed for now, but wanna get 1 relay that is big enough for the fast speed, so it can cover both.

I "think" you can get a 30 amp relay and be fine with it, though it pulls much more on startup....

Check out this site. This guy makes controllers designed to work with mark VIII and Taurus fans. They are really an awesome product. You can read on the site all of the nice features. The only problem is there is quite a wait to get one, probably at least a couple months. I use a Taurus fan with the FK-50P on a blown ten second street car and it has always performed flawlessly and runs about 180 in bumper to bumper traffic. When my 78 gets finished it will be running one of these with a Mark VIII fan.
