    What has worked for you?

    Thanks, Jim

    I'd did the 05 fans. It looks alot cleaner than anything else.

    So how much power do you gain from the conversion to e-fans?
    I have heard some outrageous claims and some resonable ones as well.

    I"m thinking about 10 to 12 hp max. I have no facts to base that on other than one claim that I read that said "dyno tests prove 17 hp gain".
