I went the cheap route and got a Pep Boys heavy duty radiator and an Auto Zone electric fan to compliment my Stewart high flow water pump. I got the biggest fan Auto Zone had and this setup is working great. The fan only cost me $65 I believe plus the $30 for the Flex Lite thermostat. With an aluminum radiator I think it could easily handle a 400+ HP setup.

my car isnt making killer power, but the blackmagic fan for the 5.0 is awesome, and i picked up some good power, was pretty pricey, but like mentioned above those cheap pepboys fans can hold up sometimes, my friends 347 has just a little bitty perma cool fan probaly from autozone and has no problems.

Oh, i should mention, some people here think the blackmagic fan is crap, and that you will overheat, well i live in south tx, and run cooler than ever.
