You realize how silly that sounds?
I could not care less how it sounds to you. To me, I hear the electric fan kick on, the engine rpm dips for a second and the motor slightly stumbles. I can feel, see and hear it. Probably not an issue on a v8 but it does put a load on the motor when it kicks on.
I've never seen my motor rpm's dip and stumple because the fan kicks on. I've never seen that with all the factory V8 cars with electric fans either....maybe if something had a puny 38 amp alternator or something. 7-15 hp is a lot to me.
Does it bug you when the fan roars when the fan clutch engages at WOT when the engines hot?
