I would think the factory dual cooling fans would pull plenty of air thru the cooler if its mounted in front of the radiator

I voted for cooler with fan, but it realy depends on what converter you choose and where you live at.

You can always get the biggest cooler without a fan and if the temps are too high mount a fan on it.

A fan is nice to have. I have one, but rarely need to use it.

Absolutely. If you need it, add it, but try without it first. I have never seen any high temps with mine, which has no fan. Spend the bucks on stuff that you know you need, rather than stuff you think you may need.

Get the cooler with the fan. They are rather inexpensive and good insurance.

If you have the room get the fan. If not I wouldn't worry too much if you mount it infront of the radiator then the factory fans will pull air through it.
