are you talkin about in addition to the stock fan? if you want colder ac get a high idle tune. i don't think anyone has ever been able to get electric fans to flow what a stocker will
I think this is just while moving. However when stationary or in traffic electric fans pull stock fans paints down. I would like to get one for when pulling or racing. You don’t really get as much air movement as a long trip at 50MPH or greater so they would be beneficial.

I have not seen those happy electric fan guys when it comes to any towing.
Towing long distances at 50mph + or 300ft at 25mph - ?

I know I figured i would get more feed back out of this area
Ok so you are talking fans mounted on the outside of the rad to pull air in when in stop and go traffic? That should work well as any blockage they create would be rather minimal considering the cooling abilities of the 7.3s system and that massive fan when the clutch locks would suck in a small child if they were walking by LOL.
As long as this is for that and not general engine cooling I think electric could have a place and be beneficial.

An electric fan will pull about as much air (@ maximum speed)as the stock one does @ 2100 RPM.
They actually pull less at higher speeds.... But thats not the point. They pull twice as much when the vehicle is stationary and does not have air being forced in from the front because of the vehicles forward movement.

how would higher speeds make it pull less? at a higher speed the fans would pull more.
Less than the factory fan at higher speeds. I think its because of the way the electric fan is a puller and is sucking through the radiator however the factory fan pulls in adjustment with whats being pushed through. The electric fan kind of pulls the same regardless.

Don't think you could find any elec fan that will compete with the oem. If your a/c is struggling it's an a/c issue. Here in Az mine will blow 48-50* @ a stoplight in temps around 115*.
If you tow at all you will miss the oem. On 6-7 miles of 6% in 100+* temps I need that BIG fan the elec won't cut it.

That would be a huge draw on the electrical system
