Taking the fan off is worth 3hp at the rear wheels on the dyno.

For around $100, its definitely worth it for 3hp at the rear wheels.

Thats about all my Hypertech added for 3 times that much when I had it.
and yes, with 93 octane tune.....this was dyno'd.


Pretty crazy, huh?

I just did them on my silverado ss. I did LS1 fans and controlled them by the PCM. I picked up around the 3-4 HP and 5 ft/lbs of torque.
