hell, compare the weight of the parts of each install. the more it weighs, the more effective hp it requires just to be there.
unless the supporting mods are already done, electric fans just aren't worth it.
1. I'm damn certain dan wasnt running an upgraded alternator, and also damn sure dan wasnt running any of the fans i'd consider useful
2. Your interwebs accounts prove jack, as most are using shitty fans, and also fall into the improper installation category
3. You want to attempt to use one persons tests, or some interwebs junk, as a basis, well please feel free to point out some corvettes, 85-02 f bodys, ferraris, etc that just cant keep things cool without a clutch fan, ohh ooppsie thats right, they work just fine.
4. Are you really wanting to compare weight here ? Please feel free to come up with some sort of reasonable figures here on how the ROTATING weight of a clutch fan, is somehow going to be advantageous over static weight of a set of lightweight electric fans
Please, get a car together, with working a/c, 300+ HP, and then we'll have a comparison on which works better.
