I would probably do it the same way as on our Bonneville: Two fans around 
900 CFM that run in series for a low demand speed and in parallel for high 
flow. Of course the Bonne is also engineered so that natural air flow takes 
over above 50 mph so they are off then.

One of the first things I plan to look at once I find the right car (have 
cash, will travel 8*) is to utilize that natural air flow which is blocked 
in the production car.
