Default Electric Fan's

I am looking to put an electric fan on my 04CC 4.7. Trying to find out if anyone know what type of CFM rating I am going to need. This is my daily driver and I dont tow enough to have that be a factor. Thanks

yeah deffinitly do a search for it....however, i put one on my truck, it's a Flex-a-lite and it's rated at like 3300 CFM, very easy install and well worth the money

one weblink with much info on a fan that has worked well in conversions:

http://www.geocities.com/smithmonte/...rkVIII_Fan.htm

or check the archive if the link is down:

Audi's are also nearly the right size

MP Viper fan is expensive but has been used by many

The MPG gain with no fan is approximately 3%
at a steady 70 mph on the interstate over a 200 mile loop in both directions, so electric fan gain will be slightly less than 3%
