I will be getting 2 120mm fans for my 89 Camaro heatercore. How much air flow do I need? I see that many people like panflo's but will they flow enough air? Also where is the best place to get them.

If you put a fan on each side, with proper shrounds then it should have fine airflow- i have 2x 120mm enermax fans on mine-

go for either:

1. quiet fans and run them at the same voltage, make sure they are deep (32mm) because the usally have more pressure and do not make as much noise

2. get the biggest and best fans you can find, such as the Deltas sold here: www.overclockingstore.co.uk (look at the 120mm ones) you can then control the fan either by running it at 5 or 7v or use this or this
