Well just to give you heads up the stock fan can easily cool the motor that goes up to 400HP+, might wanna check/replace the fan clutch if you go this route. I've heard bad things about electric fans so i dont wanna try em. People have luck with them and otherw don't; if you wanna go this...
Well for one thing if you want to keep everything stock and your getting the PWR I'd stick with the stock fan. IMO it cools well for the stock system.
I'd check the stock radiator if it is clogged. Go flush it out. Then i would check the Thermostat if its bad I'd replace everything...
I'm no IJ expert, but i know that there is a temp sensor at the bottom of IJ Rads and 7m Don't.
