Hey Jim, what size and if you know the CFM rating are those fans that your
SHELBY running? I'm planning this spring to go to a cooler thermostat and
I'm gonna change out that 10lbs. of metal they call a clutch and fan blade
to gain some unclaimed horse-power. That and get some under-drive pulleys.
Those changeovers should get me at least 20 to 30 extra ponies without going
to premium fuel. Thanx
remove the < to email me
Tim
