It doesn't matter how much air it moves, it's calibrated to what...195+ degrees before clutch fan engages? At that time, after sitting in 20 mins of stop n go traffic, my engine now is too hot too aggressively accelerate safely with timing I will be running. Clutch fan and 11 blade setup may be better, and probably is on a stock t-stat temp vehicle.

My 11:1 aluminum head 383 sits at about 178-182°F. Doesn't matter if I am towing a load or sitting in bumper to bumper traffic with the a/c running on a 105°F day. 170°F thermostat. Thats also with a 25% underdrive crank pulley and a larger water pump pulley that underdrives the pump and fan about 40%. My engine idles 750 in drive so the water pump, fan and compressor turn near OEM speed (@ OEM 525 idle speed) at idle.
