What did you say? Can't hear you!:):)
Yep--have had it tested and no appreciable loss. I added a 6 blade composite
fan in my E-Type (Series one that came with a 2-blade egg beater) and it IS
loud, but no louder than the original 2 bladed one.
Maybe I just haven't paid a lot of attention to the Healey one, but I think if
it was loud, I'd have noticed.
Cheers
