Default Electric fans

I want to know more about electric fans. I want the people who erased my thread to answer this ?.. I hadn't heard enough so maybe i can get some more info from the people who like to erase my post. If i put electric fans on my truck will it make a couple of hundred extra horse power?.

Good news, guys. I took the ceiling fan off the radiator today and put some LS1 fans on. The secret is to hook the fans to a Rockford Fosgate 500w amp, and they cool like 10x better. I got about 40 rwhp, I bet if I sprayed some nos in front of the fans, I could get about 175 rwhp from the combo.

Make sure you mount that amp far away from the radiator (mine is conveniently located on the firewall <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )that thing will generate major heat, Oh yeah the other beauty to this method there is no longer a need for a relay, Just fire up the stereo and your talking a good 20 degrees cooler under the hood!!!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Hey Hyde, how about some actual technical discussions. I believe you are one of the only truck guys here to grenade a motor, maybe you can give some specifics on rebuilding one?

This thread is kind of funny, but if I could transfer it to LS1.com, I would. Over there it might be seen as "real" tech.
