There are two 'best' bolt-in suckers, checked for max airflow in a 6 pg 
illustrated POCA article (Oct 2011): Flexilite's shrouded dual fan setup 
(several models) and the nearly identical assembly by Maradyne of Ohio, whose 
'platinum' unit moves slightly more air. Various vendors stock both. Both models 
fit the back of a Pantera radiator like a glove (both upright & 
laid-forward) but beware of the plastic tie-wrap method of attachment which has 
destroyed several radiators. If you buy from a vendor, you'll likely get metal 
attachment brackets. You'll also want to root out all the extra wires and 
connectors folded into your front end wire loom so 100% of the electrons needed 
can get to the new fans. Both units pull significant amperage- good clean 
wiring is essential. A drop of only a couple of volts can cut airflow by 40%- 
and we don't have 40% to spare. And those sexy curved-blade fans? They are 
only to silence airflow, not to produce any more actual air movement. Good 
luck- J Deryke
