Default 2710 cfm enough to keep the car cool?

I ordered two derale 16925 fans but they don't fit tthe Griffin radiator I ordered. I can fit one and then buy a smaller 8 inch derale pusher fan that does 500cfm and put next to the big fan. Do you all think 2710 would be enough with no A/C?

Long story short, I can cruise around with just one of the 16925 fans on. It doesn't overheat, but it does not run as cool as with both on.

I am waiting for my warranty replacement to come in before racing mine though.

Mines fine with one 2000 cfm 16" spal pusher so far....hasnt gotten hot here yet but even when it does its only 80s usually. Having no ac helps too. Cruising its 178-185. Idleing gets to 195 and the fan brings it back down.

Yeah it will be fine. I'm running the single spal fan on my procharged setup and it stays cool. The key is a good sealed fan shroud. Plus I live in texas.

Mines a pusher so no shroud but I have the spal gasket and that seems to make it alot more efficient.

It is a system that all has to work together. If your fan is even running at all on the highway the rest of the system is subpar
