** High Priority **
For you guys who don't like the noise of the fans, why don't you just
yank the stock fan and hook up with a 14" or dual 10" electric fans?
From what I have read before, they eliminate a LOT of noise coming
from the engine compartment, and they COMPLETELY eliminate any drag
coming from the crank fan. . .sooooooo freed up horsepower. Heck
with the gaining 15 HP, you'd probably gain 20 or more just because
you don't have the fan and no more noise. If you want to order one,
I think you can get them out of Summit Racing magazine for around
$100 (for the big electric fans) The only thing they do is pull a
little more out of the alternator, and if you're not running 1000
watts of stereo you shouldn't have any trouble at all. Just my two
cents.
