Just make sure they are "good" stock cooling fans. I had a fan motor going bad and it seemed to work fine, but in reality it spun too slow .replaced it and it was fine and could then see the speed difference.

Not necessarily. Dual fans are smaller blades, there are too many variables to make such a general statement.

My brother has a somwhat built 355 in his 89 camaro, it puts down 370 sumthin HP on the local dyno. He runs one of the big S-Blade fans. I cant remember the brand, but when it kicks on, theres enough air moving to blow dust out from under the car, it's pretty loud though.

i run a 14 and 12 inch fan on my 79 TA
never an issue cooling

on her formula, dual stock fans, no probs

on my 88 comanche pickup tripples, dual 10's and 7 inch fan, but thats because i wanted to totally make sure it would never overheat, especially towing the jetskis in the summer

on my 97 jeep, i plan on tripple 9" fans, since the core of the radiator is small
