Hey all,
So with continuing on upgrading the brick, I have heard and read posts about converting over to an electric fan and removing the fan clutch or something along those lines. I checked the archives and it seems like there is indeed a gain in HP, and seems like a solid investment. Hey, even 5 more HP is worth it on a NA brick depending on price. My question is before even considering this conversion, what is it?? Excuse my ignorance, but I thought it was the fan that kicks in when the AC is on, etc. and robs the engine of some power. When accelerating or climbing hills with the AC on, the car def feels more sluggish...would this conversion help alleviate that? How long would the conversion take, and how much, and do you guys/gals have any recommendations. I'll search more thoroughly through the archives when I'm home from work.

Best and thanks as always,
Adam
