I've been looking at dual fans after getting hot while waiting to get into a car show this past weekend.  Had been initially looking at the Flex a Lite 420 and letting the Fitech control both fans.  Found it from
this thread and the green charger with the griffin radiator:  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php?topic=116365.0

I have an aluminum radiator from Engineered Cooling Products, as recommended by many on this forum. 

I too, also, was looking at the Derale 16826 or the 66826 (with pwm controller).  I was concerned about the depth, but I found a video on youtube from Derale with a Charger and 440 running that fan.  The pump pulley looks to fit fine between the fan housings pretty well instead of the fan motor.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35pH3izvrug  I have about 3.5 inches to work with comfortably between the core and the pump/pulley.

Still haven't decided.  The Derale moves more CFM, but has a higher draw, but I have a 120 amp alternator, so there may not be much issue.  I really like the PWM controller idea, but part of the Fitech justification was the ability for it to control the fans whenever I get around to needing them.  Also, another forum member has already put the Flex a Lite fan (bill440rt) and I haven't heard anything bad about it. 

Decisions....decisions......

Bill used Flex a lite, thin at 2.65" it should clear all pulleys and belts and drawing 22 amp not a big load to supply. If I buy another it will be this one.
