    G, you are right as to removing a mechanical fan freeing up horsepower, but it also eats up horsepower to keep the alternator charging enough to power all the electrical accessories. It would take a dyno to measure the difference. IMO, I'll stick with the mechanical fan on the street and save the electric stuff for my drag car. JMO
