I suggest OEM fans from the LS1 cars...either fbodies or Vettes. You can modify them just a bit to fit perfectly against the radiator, and they look really good, and will push plenty of air. If you want to see them , BradWlv has them on his truck (he bought them from me when i traded the truck for a vette)

i got my ls1 fans from a local salvage yard for 150 and spent about 30 bucks in hardware to get them going. Looks almost factory and they cool great.
