Upgraded Radiator

So, guys have you upgraded your radiator fan? If so what were your benefits? Also is there a way to just wire in a motor or module to increase fan speed or are you better off purchasing one?

You're better off purchasing a more powerful one. The 335is has a more powerful fan, but the fan is around $600. Remember that the fan is really only helping when the car is stopped or driving slow (i.e. autox). At driving speed it's not doing anything.

At that price, an upgraded radiator by CSF or Mishimoto are better bang for your buck.

I would agree to not bother with a fan but an upgraded radiator. I have the CSF radiator and my coolant temps are much lower even on the hottest day this summer.
