Default Cooling fans push or pull which is better

I have alot of projects but right now I'm working on a 73 240Z with a 77 280Z block and a p90 head off of a 82 turbo 280Z and I have a custom 60-1 turbo kit and it's going to generate alot of heat so I can put radiator fans on either side of the radiator. My question is what cools better pushing threw the radiator to the motor or pulling from the radiator to the motor. Also are FAL fans the best to get??

i would say pull it through the radiator, that way if you get good natural airflow into the radiator, you're not obstructing it by having fans in front of it.

that come out right?

pulling in my opinion, pulling cool air from the front of the radiator like stated above seems like a more natural flow especially if your moving. and it also allows for more surface area to be cooled on the radiator as the fan isnt blocking the front of the radiator.
