if it does actually pull 2500 cfm(ratings of many after-
market fans tend to be exagerated),it should do
the job,i recon the stock single pulls about 2500 cfm.
i have it hooked up to a Flex-a-lite variable speed controller. i highly recommend it- very good quality. it works great and pulls a lot of air. this fan, an in-tact air dam, and a 180* stat and not even close to overheating- even on a scorching hot summer day
LG4 305ci 4bbl motor, 2.5" Cherry Bomb Extreme muffler- side exit exhaust, Cragar 15x7 Black D Window wheels (4" backspacing), Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires (P235/60R15), 36mm hollow front sway bar with wonder bar, 24mm rear sway bar, Energy Suspension endlinks and Guldstrand bushings, Edelbrock Elite 4222 air cleaner with K&N filter, FF Dynamics 16" Cyclone electric fan, Flex-a-lite Variable Speed Fan Controller, custom fixed headlight conversion with 5000K HIDs and Silverstar Ultra H7 bulbs, Pilot PL-362W driving lights with Hella 100W H3 bulbs, Deka Intimidator 9A78DT AGM battery
Not quite certain if the 16 7/8ths fits, but turn it around 90 degrees and it´s only 15 7/8ths high which certainly fits in a stock TBI
Anything actually pulling 2500 CFM will do. I replaced my original fan with a 2000 CFM model and it does pull more air then the stock one. I have heard several people on this forum state the original fan pulls something between 1200 and 1500 CFM.
Since my fan gave up shortly after I purchased the car I have no means of confirming this.
