How much HP did I gain?
Last weekend I replaced my old fan clutch. The old clutch was seized up and would not let the fan spin freely. I installed the new clutch for under $35.00 and WOW, what a difference. I can definitely feel the difference in acceleration and the car seems to do much better at highway speeds.
I was just curious how much of an increase in HP did this make?

I think it could be as much as 20 depending on the pitch of the blades. Bet on 10 – 15.

I am running headers with true duals. I do however still have cats. I would love to get rid of them in the future, but I'm still unclear on the local laws.

427_Roadster, I got it at Autozone. I don't have the receipt handy, but I think it was $33.99 with a lifetime guarantee.

Yeah I replaced mine for about 35.00 and noticed a little more acceleration. I took the fan off my F-150 and went to electric and couldnt believe the difference. Without the fan it was almost seat of the pants acceleration difference.. Anyone notice a difference with the electric on their Vette?
