    how could it be more? should be cheaper since there usually isnt a high demand for them.

    better throttle response, better mpg, not blowing your water pump when your fan clutch locks up :jester:

    Because it will put too much strain on the electrical system since I might be buying dual 7" fans for my heat exchanger too.

    honestly I would have a hard time wanting to trade my belt-driven fan for an electric fan. hardly any power gained and I have no cooling issues, and I know its working, electric fans fail and can be costly.
