Clutch or not to clutch.

Just how much gain is there to be had by a clutch?
Are you running pro stock where every last horse power needs to be there?


For me, a failing fan clutch is one less thing I have to worry about failing down the road. Be it a torgue drive or temp controlled IMO makes no difference. Sooner or later it will fail.

Ive heard the argument a direct drive fan is noisier , I'll call BS to that . Mine inst loud at all and I assure you I can not hear it windows open or closed, I surely cant hear it going down the road
