Default Which Fans???

I'm wondering which pusher fans to get that work well and aren't crazy expensive. The radiator is in the stock location, so which fans can I mount on the front side?

Am i better off getting a large 12" fan and then a smaller 9" fan? As it seems i have seen a lot of people do this. That or get two smaller 10" fans?

I still have the a/c on there and don't want to worry about over heating. I have always heard pushers aren't as efficient so i want to get the best combo to keep the car cool.

Derale 11.75" part number 16925 seem to have worked well for people who retained AC with pushers

That is the one i was looking at but wasn't sure if it would fit. Do you run one or two of them?

seems like those fans push way more air than any other fan out there.

also they wouldn't happen to have the same connector as stock fans? I'd like to not cut the stock wire harness, but if i have to i can put some weather pack connectors on.

I run stock fans but I do believe others have used two of them. Not sure on the wiring but I think the connectors are different.

How do you run stock fans? I tried trimming and cutting them down to fit them on the front side of the radiator, but there simply isn't enough room.

Are you running the stock ones as pushers in front of the a/c condenser? If so how? Do you have any pics of your setup?

My turbo is in the battery location, someone might have done it but I think you'd have a real hard time fitting a turbo big enough for a V8 in front of the engine with stock fans in the puller position.
