So after many years I am almost done (good one huh?) with a 5.0 Ford swap in my wife's Volvo. I had a shop help me toward the end and we added 2 10" Spal fans.
They are probably good fans but way too loud. Car needs a cam swap and I was trying to justify how the car will sound better with a more aggressive cam. Stock Explorer cam now.
My wife says it'll never sound good with those fans. True. I know this could be like asking for the best tires or oil. But I thought I'd toss it out there.
Is there a brand better known for less noise? I'll put the Spal fans on my camping van so no loss there. Other considerations? My V8 Volvo pals use http://www.dccontrol.com/constant_te...ontrollers.htm. Which would be great for low temp needs and maybe that would be enough but it would still be obnoxious at high speed.
Thoughts? oh and I never get notification from this site so I will try and check in regularly. Thanks!
