I have an electric "pusher fan" w/factory fan setup on my 440 w/ the 
stock big block radiator.  Last summer I drove it to Lincoln, NE. for 
Americruise.  Temps were near 100.  It was fine on the highway but as 
soon as I got into city traffic the needle went up to @ 3/4 or more on 
the gauge and the electric pusher fan had no effect on it.  I have mine 
wired to a switch so I can turn it off and on manually.  On a day with 
more moderate temps my gauge runs on the low end of "normal" without the 
electric.
