Audi's have some "close fit" efans for a Ram retrofit

a new HHR efan from a GM dealer is low cost, dependable, and near the right size

when your factory viscous clutch fan is unlocked
the hp drag is small....probably around 0.5 to 1.5 hp
so hp gain from a efan depends on whether your viscous clutch fan locks up during acceleration, which it will for long pulls but not for most short pulls less than 30 seconds

Extreme 180 here as well, said to free up about 18-20HP. Really easy install, too. (well, if you don't count the bi*ch it is getting the existing fan off...[:@])
