Re: flex fans

I second Ron's opinion, they really flatten out when you rev them up, therefore they scoop less air at high rpms using up less horsepower than the stock fixed fan. Some believe it is still more desirable to have a fan clutch instead, though. Depends on what your wallet is I guess, the flex fan tends to be cheaper.

  Flex fan pulls good at low rpm's but flex's out at higher rpm to help make 
  more hp then a standard fan blade. And at higher rpm's the car is moving 
  fast enough that the rad has enough air over it so the flex fan can flatten 
  out and the car wont run hot but makes more hp.  Ron
