Anybody needing some fans?
I greatly appreciate all the information....
I'm going to purchase a set of fans that are capable of doing the job this time...

What is the main reason for switching to electric fan? Does the stock fan not do its job well enough?

The idea behind it is factualy but then gains vary from ride to ride and as well as conditions. The process is to remove any or as much parasitic drag off the engine to help free power and improve MPG (slightly)

Have not looked at the flow numbers but whats the comparison between the MarkVII and the Flex-a-lite Black Magic 180 on low setting?

Thats cool. I have both fans but will prob' put in the MarkVII with the mount brackets that RubberFrog did for the last owner. You think 40Amp Fuse will be okay?
