I really dont have coolign issues, the frotn fan is being relaced becasue the stocker is the original from 1985 and my Hypertech switch turns my fans on at 200 degrees and off at 1985, so it is running more than normal and I the stock pusher is loud.
The Dewitts I bought basically because, I wanted too
, and it has more CFM than the stocker, I am always up for improvements when they don't break the bank,, $200 is reasonable to me.

That single will be quieter.
Have a 16" spal 2200 cfm cant hear it with the motor on. Not bad at all
Course my car is loud as hell but still think the fan is quieter than the stockers.

No problem here OAM, your A-OK with me, us ol'timers have to hang together! 
I love everyone, although I have used the Ignore feature for a couple of peopel, that subsequently were suspended 
I also added the Hypertech #4028 on @ 200 off at 185 sensor today, so my front fan wont be on as much too, I took out the Hypertech #4026 (free to a good home) on at 176 and off at 166, the front fan ran continuously
The front fan was a nice upgrade, I'm pleased with hit.
I also dug a dead Robin that I hit out of the radiator, stinking feathers every where and one dried up carcass

Just like the big cam, you get fuel smell, its the give and take and the extra CFM is worth the extra noise for me

I have good results with this puppy:
90's Taurus 3.8 V6 3 wire fan
1 fan two speed
Slow speed - 2800 CFM
High speed - 5600 CFM
Less than 100 bux on ebay

If you score @ a pick a part get the factory 2 sp fan relay.
The Volvo 2 sp fan relay on ebay also works
Good luck
