What is the highest CFM 60mm fan? I have an SK-6, and want to stick with the standard 60mm fan.. I have a 38 CFM Delta right now, but just wondering if there's anything better?

LOL you like having a jet engine in your room? Get a fan adapter and a Mechatronics 53CFM fan from Coolerguys.

How big of a temperature difference do you think 15-20 CFM would have? I'm trying to overclock pretty hard, so I guess any increased performance would be great for me.

It depends on how much CFM it can actually push through the heatsink. The fan CFM rating is called open air rating, which is the amount of air it can move when you place it in open air without any heatsink attached to it.

The answer to heavy overclocking is liquid cooling.

Eh.. can't afford that now. :) Still gotta shell out $300 for a vid card, $100 for memory, and various other amounts for small items.

Might want to try an 80mm adapter. That way you can get the delta moving 68cfm at only 48.5db
