Electric fans do pull a lot of current which must load the alternator. I wonder what kind of hp drop a burdened alternator creates compared to an engine driven fan with the clutch engaged?????

Boy it's REALLY hard to beat a fan powered by a 455 cubic inch engine ....

Thermo clutches have time and time again proven to be the most efficient way to cool a vehicle and no electric fan made pulls as much air.

that said electrics are REALLY nice!
More room, no shroud etc

But also very $$$
