Short & sweet - get the biggest fan you possibly can, preferably a
dual-fan setup which will cover more of the radiator's surface area.
BM150 doesn't cut it on a Gen3 (might have a slim chance on a Gen2).
The Viper fan (as in what comes in a Dodge Viper) has gotten good reviews.
Oh, and wire up a killswitch for it. Electric fan means plastic blades,
and when plastic blades meet meet water, it's not a happy ending. Or,
er...uh....that's what I hear anyway :) Yes, even if you don't plan on
4 wheeling with it, it'll only add a few minutes to your install time.
