Helps if we explain why that is though.
The factory fan setup is a fan with a clutch attached to the water pump
(and in some cases an auxiliary electric fan). Because it's directly
connected to the engine, turning the fan requires that power be sent
away from the driveshaft and into the fan to get it moving and keep it
moving. Remove that parasite and the engine revs a little easier and
gets slightly better mileage.
