Yes.

What ever you do, do not mount the electric fan using the 'thru radiator zip tie thingys" They will eventual vibrate against the radiator and rub holes in it.

The V8 Thunderbird fans are bigger than the Taurus ones, which is why I mentioned the Thunderbird one instead.

you need to change your intake...a cai is good but you should also upgrade the intake itself.

Depends. Most of the time intakes are more of a gimmick anyway, maybe 5hp? I know on my Mustang an AEM one didnt give me anything remotely noticeable...

It really depends on the application. Will you feel a difference in driving it after just adding a intake? Probably not. But once you start to add multiple things like that which add power, it adds up and you def feel a difference.

And a lot can depend on the maker of the intake, they can vary greatly.
