by the time you step up to an electric fan that moves enough air to match the clutch fan, your electric draw is huge and putting a ton more strain away from the alternator, which in turn just takes power away from the spark, which means anything you've gained, you've probably lost if not more.
Again, if they were better like that, you'd best bet high-end cars would be running them.
Really you think when the alternator is putting out its max (higher rpm, not at idle), is when the power isnt going to be there for ignition ? Like I said, peoples setups that are not working properly, are not setup properly.
If you dont understand how to build your car properly, and use an electric fan setup, hey thats cool, by all means run a 20+ yr old clutch fan, just dont try to tell me its "better" because someone else who couldnt do electric correctly, said so.
