Now either way u go….stock or electric….ducting is truly the key element in cooling. Why….simply because when the car is moving more air will pass through the core then the fan can pull…so truly the fan is only supplementing in cooling off the radiator.
I agree. If the vehicle is moving quickly enough, a spinning fan can actually create a high pressure area directly behind the radiator. Air will go around the radiator instead going through the radiator.

efans should be on some kind of thermoswitch to prevent constant operation.
