Default Electric Fan of choice

Hey all. I looked through the threads and theres are a lot of people suggesting electric fan conversion. What fans are you guys using? I think thats going to be my next upgrade, but i worry about heat. I go out to 110+ temps and I just want to make sure i get something that can handle the heat at least (if not better) than the stock fan. Thanks.

Are these electric fans really worth all the talk? Is there really any difference in power when you switch over to one?

Is it bad to get a black magic if I'm running a 800 watt sound system? I am probly going to get a yellowtop soon anyway...
Hey Eric what does it take to use a chevy fan as far as wiring and junk?

What CFM should i be looking for?
What does stock run about?
What size fits well?
Do you remove the shroud?
And: what do you replace the clutch fan with? or do you just remove it?

Same questions above about the clutch fan.

Also how hard is it to wire. And How do you turn it on or do you have a switch inside the truck

At the top of the forum is a 3rd Gen FAQ. Lots of good info there.

Here's a write up on how to install an E-Fan:

my electric fan quit a few days ago, so i just put my factory fan back on..... and it honestly feels like i put a b-52 prop on it! the feel and power is night and day....i forgot what it was like and am amazed that sucker drags as much as it does!!!
