Regardless of how 'Properly' a clutch fan is working it still causes drag on the motor. Especially at high rpm's... that fan can't fully keep up with the pulleys trying to spin 6k+. On top of all that the E-fans are more efficiant and move a greater amount of air to keep things cool... PLUS they give you room to work on the truck without cutting yourself on the fan blades

You need to calm down and have a little respect for others. If you tried to talk to me like this in real life I would slap you in your mouth. I don't care if you have 800 posts and I have 13. You want to provide information thats fine, no need to have such an attitude at all times.
And if you don't mind guy-who-drives-a-prelude-but-hangs-out-in-the-truck-forums, please explain to us all why e fans never net anyone REAL MPG gains.

First off I was never trying to be a dick. Im sorry that your 12yrs old and take stuff to heart. Oh and you wouldn't "slap me in my mouth" trust me. Post count doesn't matter to me. It's all based from experience and you my friend have NONE, hence the reason for your questions. Also, I sold my H/C 5.3 truck in order to further my education so that my future can be worth something. That's why I am driving a reliable Honda my last 2yrs of college instead of blowing time and money on my vehicle. I hangout on the truck forums because even though i don't have a truck anymore im knowledgable about trucks so I can help incompetent ***** like you!
Also, if you use the SEARCH button and read through e-fan threads you can witness first hand MPG gains.
Lastly, congrats on being a complete *** and diminishing your chances of ever getting help on this site again.
Good riddence D-bag

You've been rude since your very first post on here. With your knowledge came a lot of attitude. And I ASSURE YOU that you would NOT disrepect me in real life.
Enough with that.
I don't plan on spending the rest of my life on this forum so its laughable that you think I'm devastated that my reputation is ruined on here. I had a few simple questions that were answered with very simple replies by most of the board members that replied. You on the other hand are one of the typical no-life board trolls that attack anyone with low posts counts or ask questions that are commonnly asked.
This is a forum. A place for people to talk and ask questions. GOD FORBID the same questions would get brought up by other members more than once. Not every post can be completely original and about someones twin turbo ls7 swap in their damn truck. Things will get brought up over and over. Deal with it. Or better yet if you don't like it, stay off the forums. With your frame of mind these forums wouldn't exist because every topic would have to be all original.
I may not be knowledgeable on these trucks or LS based motors, but I have 650 a rear wheel pump-gas MODULAR mustang. It started out stock.
YOU ARE NOT GOD. Stop acting like it.

ok, this thread is getting stupid. I believe you found your answers, if not let me recap... MPG really depends on the quality of the tune... Also a Z06 cam sucks.... Inducing more air (air=HP) into the motor will also cause more gas to be used... Plain and simple...
BTW, welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay...
