Does anyone know the max cfm of a type one upright cooling fan. lets say a dual port 1600 stock.

It depends on how it is installed. But a late model wide fan installed in a doghouse shroud installed in a motor outside of the car body at about 3500 RPM it is in the 1500 CFM range.
If you do a google search and spend some time, there are some studies about it.

there was also a massive argument on whether or not CFM directly controlls cooling or not.

search samba for it.... it was a few months ago.

and btw, CFM is NOT everything. its all about the flow
