reverse flow stock fans? I didnt know where to post this question, but since i am doing something related to FI i thought i would post in here.
Can you switch the polarity of your stock fans and put them as pusher setup?

No I moved one in front of the A/C condenser and reversed the wired to make it a pusher ... the other is still a puller on the other half of the radiator. Not in a sandwich formation, that's not good, air will get trapped and stay hot.
