[alfa] Mechanical vs electric fans - was single row timing chains

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whilst I'm more concerned with originality, I have wondered what the 
True hp difference between running a mechanical fan and the additional 
drag on the alternator from running an electric fan is. I'm guessing, on 
average, about 1 to  2 hp difference.

Yet, once again I have to agree with Brian Shorey in that whether one is 
sitting in the hot pits or a traffic jam idling away in, say Crawford, 
Texas, in the summer, you want full fan power at idle. Obviously once 
underway the person on the race track kills the fan.
