Checking what others have done, Underground Motorsports used Permacool (2) 12" High Perf. Electric Pull Fans, 3000 CFM

9 Second Racing used the Koyo 240SX Aluminum Racing Radiator with a single Flex-A-Lite electronic pusher fan.

Hope this helps.

I would personally stay away from the dual fal fans... they pull almost 20 amps. Seriously a fan is fan... just by some cheap low profile 12's from ebay, and spend the rest for good shrouding. As for the radiator, you might want to look at the fluidynes or griffin.
