Default Is anyone using AAP Electric Fans?

Is anyone running these dual electric fans on their SC300? If so, how hard was the installation and did you notice any positive results?
If no one has them, do you think they will work with our cars?

The fans may be good as part of a larger FI project, but just changing the fans alone will not yield any noticable differences.

You can get just about the same fans at an auto pats store for like $50 each. Its just the aluminum shroud youre paying for, which you can make out of sheet metal by yourself with the right tools...

I use the AAP fans. I have them on both of my cars. I have them switched on with a zirgo switch and relay.
They clean up the engine bay and work great.

I've heard good things about them pulling massive amounts of air.

jibbby: OT but Im just curious where you got your 310whp number from? Do you have a dyno sheet?

i have one 12inch Hayden fan and one 10inch one for when the a/c kicks on ... works great..temp has never reached past halfway..but it seems to take a lil longer to get to normal operating temps..with the old clutchfan it seemed to get there a lil faster

310whp with nos, 210whp without.. Need to turbo and get this baby running up into the 400+whp range as I have the built tranny already in place...I either need to turbo this bastard or sell it....I have had my eye on the new Z06 Vette's as a true sportcar replacement in the near future..Losing interest in my SC4 fast, as the A/C just sprouted a freon leak the other day.....Pissed me off.. not a cheap and easy fix...
