Hey guys I just installed my electric fans today,
Does anybody know of what kind of performance gains or mpg gains if any now that I have them?..
Btw my truck already has a k&n intake and magnaflow exhaust.
Haven't test drove the truck,gonna do it tomaro but i was just wondering what was the average hp to mpg?

i think your supposed to see an extra 20hp, quicker throttle response and maybe a 1mpg increase

the stock clutch fan is alot of weight for the motor to spin!

Your AC will be colder and your truck will warm up faster. That is the main thing. If your lucky you might gain 1/2 a mile or so
