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
