Default (Fan)In the front or behind radiator?

I have enough room to mount the fan in front of the radiator as well as behind. Is there any advantages or disadvantages either way.

Put it behind the radiator... it's cools alot better as a puller fan.

I had it in front of the radiator then I put it behind the radiator. I think it works better behind it.

I found a godo 5-10degrees cooler temps in our datalogs with it behind (vs in front).

we were close to the header and had to move to front, but it def ran cooler when behind, so if you have a choice, go behind.
