Ok, got this radiator and fans together as a deal, but I question if two smaller fans that were the same size as the rad would work better. Or would these be ok? I could possibly built some kind of shroud and move the fans away, what are you guys thoughts? *http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/25/vebe2y9a.jpg

Man I don't know. I kinda think air is going to want to take the path of least resistance and push around the radiator and not through. I'm sure it would cool but I agree with you, two smaller fans would work better. OR.... instead of a shroud on the front you could build a "dam" so to speak on the back. Just make it block the corners off where there's no radiator to force it to push through.

I'd probably go two smaller fans that focus more evenly on the radiator. Those would work, but they look hideously inefficient. Derale pushers are about as good as it gets, but they'll cost ya. DO NOT shroud the radiator/fans in a pusher configuration unless it's simply sealing up any top/side leaks before it gets to teh radiator. You only want to shroud the fans if you're doing a puller configuration.
