Brushless electric fan

Tom Bailey hypes that brand a good bit and rightfully so if it can cool down that beast during multiple drag weeks!
For the average guy without an 526ci SMX in their ride, I wonder how the cooling system is setup to require such high CFM to keep things cool. I run a small radiator (scirocco/pro stock style) with small fan rated under 2000CFM and the thing stays incredibly cool even in traffic. Guessing the electric pump with big free flowing lines with no thermostat has a good bit to do with it, since it ran 15-20* warmer with the OEM water pump assembly in place.

I'm using a brushless fan from a volvo.
The shroud is 24 x 17.5 and 4" deep. It's brushless and PWM controlled and has a built in 3 phase brushless controller made by Bosch.
Full power was at 7-10% duty and low speed was 90%. anywhere outside that range it shuts off, so 0% or 100% duty are off.
came in these:
04-04 - S60 2.5T, 2.5T AWD, R, T5
05-09 - S60 2.5T, 2.5T AWD, R, T5
06-09 - S60 AWD 2.5T AWD
06-09 - S60 FWD 2.5T FWD
05-06 - S80 2.5T, 2.5T AWD
04-04 - V70 2.5T, 2.5T AWD, R, T5
05-07 - V70 2.5T, R, T5
05-07 - XC70 Base, Ocean Race
Super powerful, thing almost hovers at full power of 45A.
Cut out all the excess plastic and mounted on the radiator. Moved the power connector outside the fan and sealed up any holes.

OOPS just saw who you are. Did you use your Arduino board to run this?
