Electric fan question

[Stresst]

I have a 1999/2000 Escalade which I added a 14" electric fan on the condenser. The fan over hangs about 1" inch. My question is there a negative effect if I add a 16" fan? I know it will overlap about 3" but will it cause any problems? I see the 16" models push about another 1000cfm which is huge. IMO.

Is there anyway to cut out the hood latch support with and maybe do something else with it? Maybe support it another way?

unless you can seal the mounting side of shroud all the way around air will leak thru reducing flow thru the exchangers.

Just keep the 14 inch fan.

Just keep the 14 inch fan.

The problem is its so effein loud.. I cannot go through a driver thru with it on.

Put a timed bypass on it.

I have 2 efans (one in front of condenser and one behind radiator) and I have to say even while towing in 100+ degree weather they've kept my temps rock solid. they are completely worth the noise...
