CFM of factory electric cooling fans??

Anybody know what the approximate CFM is of the factory electric cooling fans? Also what the amp draw should be on them? I'd like to change them to fans that pull more air if I can so I need to know a basic starting point. I think one of the motors is going south because it blew the fuse and appears to be drawing alot of juice. Thanks

I was told by a Gm Tech when I bought performance fans that they were 650 CFM each. If you have just one belt driven probably 1500 CFM

I guess that explains why they wouldn't cool down an ice cube at the South Pole. Thanks for replying.

does anyone want to confirm this 650cfm rating? I want to buy fans that pull more CFM and want to make sure I get enough. Thanks
