Stock fan/clutch vs. FlexLite fan

rtz · 02-26-2001, 02:09 AM

My stock fan has what look to be stress cracks all through the plastic. Is it going to fly apart on me?

I had one of those FlexLite fans, but it screamed because it didn't have any sort of a clutch.

What type of fan are you all running?

replace it quick, my stock police clutch fan took a dive through my radiator, i had to replace it (radiatr).

And im running an electric fan (black magic) expensive$, but i would never turn back, im not saying a flex wont work, but they rob power, and you can leave a electric on while motor is off, if you race at the track.

some guys had bad luck with electrics, but not me, and have you ever seen what a fan can do to a hood if it lets go? thanfully the shroud protected my hood, but not my radiator. good luck

elec fan is the only way to go. it releases power while any other option robs power. so you might spend more on the elec fan you will gain in power and that will make you faster
