I live in the desert of the Southwest in Las Cruces, NM where the summer temperatures regularly reach into the 90's and low 100's so I figure a little extra cooling couldn't hurt!

My options are:

1. Adding a 2nd, larger, oil cooler on the front of the quad just like the one on this forum post: 400EX Extra Oil Cooler Install - Honda TRX Forums: Honda TRX 450R Forum

2. Adding a Spal 4" Puller fan (147 CFM) on the stock oil cooler like the one in this post: ATV Riders Forum - I got my SPAL fan hooked up today..... scroll down to the bottom, to the post by Wheelie, for pictures.

Ideally I would do BOTH for the best cooling, but for right now I can only afford to do one or the other... Both options will run about $50 each. So which option do you think would give me the most cooling, the fan or the extra cooler?
