Default throttle body or e-fan???

I'm looking into getting a new mod and was thinking between a cnc ported throttle body or a flex-a-lite 180 e-fan. I'm wanting to know which one would be a better mod for power and benefit. Their both the same price so which should I go w first?? Thanks

Yea, I thought about the taurus fan, but I wanted to get a new fan. I know that the flex-a-lite fans are really reliable from what I've read

Flex-a-lite and FF Dynamics make the best fans you can get. Hands down I would go for the e-fans setup. Been very happy with mine.

7-10 hp gain at the crank
Colder A/C
Improved throttle response
Engine runs cooler
NO MORE FAN CLUTCH!

Got to flex-a-lite.com they will tell u which one u need. Anything with at least 3000cfm and you should be good. Check the clearance to make sure it will fit too

i know a new flex a lite is cool. but i looked on ebay, and most of the time you can find
re manufactured taurus efans for 70 or 80 bucks with warranties. just a thought. haven't bought one myself but trying to save money and feed the 5.7 is hard to do.

Does Flex-a-lite include something that runs the fans based on temperature? Or is it something you have to have programmed into the truck's computer?
