Elect.cooling fan vs. SSP cooling fan

Colt.45 · February 28th, 2011, 10:44 AM

Replaced my Flex a lite black magic extreme 185 with my SSP fan clutch ass. It cools much better or at least consistently. But I can really feel the drag on the motor. Last time at the dyno I had added a light weight drive shaft, 17 lbs. fly wheel and the elect. fan. Only gained 8.5 rwhp and 13 ft.lbs. of torque. Doesn't sound like much until you give it back. I have gone back to stock fly wheel. I'm thinking about trying my elect. fan with an better controller.I miss the low end torque.

You can feel that torque difference with your "seat in pants dyno"? You must have a well calibrated ass.

I knew somebody was going to say something like that. I don't know about a well calibrated ass. But I can tell a diff. in acceleration and traction, or lack of. I guess when you don't have much to start with, every little bit counts.
