Default Pusher fans???

What is th best and biggest pusher fan out there? I think 12in is the biggest you can fit. I'm looking for something that can push more than 14 cfm. So tell me what you guys are using and have sucess with. I have the ptk turbo set up. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I struggle with that kit myself

RICE ETR was running these monster pushers, and they just do fit... If you look in front of the radiator, you will have to cut just a tad of the metal that turns upward (you will see when you try to get them in, it's not much) down at the bottom where they will rest.

Quick question... did you get the new style alternator setup that lets you keep your factory alternator or did you get a kit that came with an alternator? This is important and I'll tell you why after you reply.

Here are the fans; they are badass! your **** will sound like a hovercraft if they are both running http://www.carolinarodshop.com/Store/Spal/12spalhp.htm

I have the PTS kit and I use dual FAL pushers. I thik they are the FAL 240s. They fit with no cutting, but I did have to install a 12" puller, but Ive never used it so far. Just a "just in case" fan.

CountryBoy, how the hell did you manage to jam a puller in there with all of the ducting? Wait a minute... maybe I just answered my own question. Looks like you might be running a custom FMIC setup...

You have the new setup, it works much better...

and yes I have these fans and they move a MAD amount of air. Definitely more than factory...

Do you have any overheating problems at all?? How do you like the kit? I have heard good things about it. Just want to know first hand from someone?
