Default Radiator, Fans or Both

I am installing a Procharger and am at the point of installing the cooling fan. It came out of the package with a cracked housing so as I deal with that I have to wonder if I am not better off upgrading the radiator, fans or both. What is your experience with adequate cooling of the OEM radiator and ATI suppled single fan?

You might as well upgrade it now. It works but, just BARELY. If you want the AC on and it's real hot make sure you don't stop for any lights or traffic. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I think a few people have used a dual 11" setup made by SPAL and have had good results.

If you search in this forum you'll find some info on them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I think the radiator will be fine if it just has enough airflow through it.
