    Slim fan?

    Any recommendations on a slim fan for a 2004 Mach 1? I need some extra room for my new turbo. I may be able to hack up the stock shroud enough, but if I can find a slim fan setup that will work as well I'd prefer to go that route.

    This 16" from SR Performance looks good, but the CFM seems awfully low, especially for them to be touting as an "upgrade" over stock.

    Can you mount the oEM fan in front of the rad?

    Edit...likely the blade curvature not condusive to reverse rotation....but I would try my hardest to keep the OEM fan.

    Otherwise SPAL.

    Not with the big intercooler there. What CFM should I be looking for?

    What is the OEM fan rated at? :)

    What gauge wire feeds the stocker? 10 ga?

    If so better grab something accordingly....25 amp draw

    Fail high...no problem....fail low....problem. :)

    Old rule of thumb was 1000cfm/100hp for NA applications.
