Anyways, I finally found a flex-a-lite 16" lo-boy hi-po fan @ napa in north fort worth and finally got home a little bit ago (trying to spend a little time with the family). Plan on cranking it up tomarrow when I mount the fan and build some brackets.

I'll keep you posted bro!!

cant you take the factory fans and turn the around to the front and use them as pushers? looks like they would fit in front of the radiator with a little work since the ac stuff is gone.

I planned on doing this with my setup..... if it wont work you can get 2 12" low pro fans for $50 shipped from Eb*y.

Problem is the factory fans are about 7" thick including shroud. No way they will fit front or back.

I used the same flex-a-lite fan on my old ls1 coupe and it never came close to overheating. I should be fine with a single.

you can still drive it as long as you dont go into boost, have to keep your revs down. when i first started mine up i put the basic tune and just left it fat in the 100+kpa area.
