I have a 9" SPAL puller on there now, thermostatically triggered at 190
degrees.
Over the summer I found it to be less airflow and slower to cool down
than ideal.
I have a 14" SPAL puller teed up to install over the winter.
BTW, a 14" SPAL does fit inside the stock shroud -- if you want to leave
it on.
