Summit Racing carries both Spal and Zirgo .... I don't get many meaningful hits when I search the web for Zirgo and racing .... but lots of hits of race teams (and top radiator companies like Ron Davis and C&R) using Spal.

Damn ... 3000 CFM .... you turn those on full blast and you can probably pull in enough air to raise the car's top speed to 200 MPH !!!
