Default coolant fan replacement

don't know if I posted this before as I have a few projects going on now but here goes. if I were to replace the passenger side coolant fan with one of the spal fans and used the correct fan connectors would it perform as the original and not kick any codes? am very much aware of how the c5 coolant system works. I would just like to have a little more umph in the fan output. was in he city over the weekend in 97 degree weather and was in bumper to bumper. temp was not real bad but I want better. I think air flow is everything in that kind of environment. I don't care for slow moving traffic when it's that hot. I also used my Sac-City remote fan control.

So your cooling system is operating properly, you just want the engine to run cooler than designed on the street? Just go with a DeWitts dual fan setup and call it a day. Fully plug and play, double the CFM of factory.
