Default small efans for procharger intercooler

My iats are about 20-30* above ambient temp while cruising. Has anyone tried installing a small efan or two on the procharger intercooler? Looks like I can fit 2 maybe 3 6" fans on top of the intercooler. The ones that I've found flow about 315 cfm each. I did find a 7" fan that flows about 1200 cfm. Has anyone tried this?

For the hassle of mounting the fans, I would check out a EBAY front mount IC.

Your temps should be lower cruising, as John said see about doing a front mount and get that thing in direct airflow.

I plan on mounting the Procharger 3core behind the grill eventually, I don't think the fans would be worth the effort.

There is a certain point the fans can restrict your airflow.

Well I live and drive in a city. About a 1/4 mile at a time. When I'm driving for a good bit nonstop temps will drop to about 5-10* over ambient. I have looked at a few front mounts. But seeing how the lower grill is only 3-4" tall not sure how much flow they will see.
What is the widest fmic I can run? 27"?

When I had my air to air our grill worked just fine, my temps were great. Just a FYI.
