what fan are you using on your large smic?

trying to pick one out for the asp large. so far summitracing.com part #SUM-G4910 is the winner.

13in tall x 10.5in wide x 2.5in thick flowing 1250cfm and drawing 6.8 amps. it would be awesome if you could fit a shroud with 2 fans side by side but i haven't found one. went thru summit's whole inventory and the closest thing i found was rad fans for a scirocco that were just a couple inches too wide.

I used a 10" Perma-Cool High Perf fan on mine. I bet it is the same one you are looking at. It flows 1250 CFM. I flipped the brackets around to mount it to my ASP Medium IC and it worked great. I never had any trouble with it.

airborne, I bet you can attach a 12" to the core, but watch out for clearance issues behind it. I had to bend the shroud on my fan to clear the radiator hose. I bet it is easier with the Large since it extends much further to the driver's side of the engine where there is less stuff to run into with the fan (I think?). Anyway, keep in mind that there is stuff behind the IC core. It's easy to imagine that there is plenty of room with the core out of the car, but it is surprisingly tight once you put it back in.

sub9lulu -- Radiator fans pull air through the radiator. IC fans (on an SMIC) pull air through the IC. They both pull their own air from the front of the car. I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but yes I used fans on both the IC and radiator.
