I know I have seen a dual configuration where there is a fan located in
front of the radiator to drive air through the fins at 400CFM or more and
another one on the opposite side to draw it through.

Another setup I have seen but only good while moving is mounting front 4"
air tubes to the front of the car to bring more air to engine bay while
running headers. The concept is to keep the engine bay cooler while under
WOT conditions.

You could get a high speed 80mm pc fan that pushes 50.6 CFM of air at @3900
RPM for about $10.00. A 120mm fan that pushes 90 CFM at 3100 RPM runs about
$14.00. Even adding the PVC it would be less than the $32.00 the bidding is
at now.

Someone else will have to do the airflow math. I just wonder how the PC fan
would do in the underhood environment.

Does anyone have questions/comments on this? It seems like it is just a PC
fan in the air intake tube... Would something similar give any gain in
performance?
