Best cooling fans?

Does anybody have any personal experience with Spal or Derale electric fans fan/shroud kits. I need something that pulls ALOT of air. Derale claims 4,000cfm with their dual 13" fan/shroud combo and about 3168 cfm with the dual 12" fan/shroud SPAL combo. Spal seems to have a better reputation, specifications, etc. But is considerably higher than Derale....im just wondering if Derale is measureing airflow at 0 static pressure as SPAL does on all their specifications. Anybody have any of these brand fans?

Thanks,

I run a flex-a-lite dual setup. Here's a link to the specs. They are variable speed. They aren't cheap but are very effective.

Re: Best cooling fans?

^I'm also running dual flex-a-lites. This is the 220b(b for black I guess) It's a puller fan, but each fan only moves 2500 CFM, so even with 2 fans, I think it still pulls 2500cfm, not 5000
it is thier low-profile fan set-up, I know some of their regular depth fans pull(or push-depending on what you want/buy) lots more air

I also run the flex-a-lites. Bought my set up from Wes.
