[Fot] Trying to mount an electric fan on a high density radiator

[rob]

while playing on a chassie dyno I recall  >>well i don't recall exactly> but 
I seem to recall about a 2 hp gain on a run with a disconected Alt. It was a 
little bit of a wow factor because we were hrs into the sesion and clawing 
are way up the hp chart.Idid not want to eliminate the Alt. on the 
recomendation the crank trigger would not have enought jucie for a 30 min 
session Joe (B) did you install the crank trigger? If so are you running 
with out the alt?    rob
