Ready to buy an electric fan-how much CFM do I need? 120-130

I want to replace my radiator fixed fan with an electric fan instead; any idea how much CFM I will need to keep the motor cool enough? I don't expect the engine to ever put out more than 125 HP by the time I finish with the upgrades. No air conditioning, and no towing.

It looks like I'll be forced to mount the fan in front of the radiator, and I expect I'll fabricate some sort of shroud out of aluminum or ABS to keep the efficiency as high as possible.
