should I have the fan in front of the intercooler or after the radiator.
Here is my intercooler
and here is the radiator with the fan mounted.
The intercooler is a Volvo unit, and the radiator is a Chevy style generic racing radiator, 22wx19Hx2t
With the size of the radiator and considering how close they are, I figured it would be more efficient to have the fan as a pusher instead of a puller like it is in the pic.
plus it cleans up the engine bay a bit, with less wires. Which is a big plus to me.

That looks great the way you have it. It's better to pull air through then to push it. The way you have it should be ok, but a full shroud on the back of the rad would be better.
