Overall Assessment

Customers highly praise the product for its excellent performance, with several noting that it draws more air than its competitors, significantly reducing engine temperature. Many commented on its durability, lightweight, and easy installation process. They also appreciate its forgiving nature compared to steel stock fans and its stability, even at high rpms. Many kept using it over the years due to its superior functionality and are willing to purchase more for other vehicles. However, there was a concern about its propensity to flex at high speeds, potentially leading to damage. Overall, the product outperforms its competitors in most aspects, leading to high satisfaction among users.

Fantastic Fan

Love these fans, been using them for 8yrs and never had one fail. They keep things cool, they are light weight and durable. They don't take a lot of hp to spin them up and the blades don't flatten out at high rpm blocking the air flow. I've spun these up to 6800rpm with no troubles. Recommend making a thin plate to put on each side of the fan, at these rpms the washers slowly want to pull through the mounting holes.

the product is low priced and lighter than origional equipment. However, the website says it will fit my small block chevy but if your sbc had a clutch fan this fan will need a spacer to fill the space where the clutch was to provide clearance for the pitch of the fan blades, your clutch can not be used to provide this space because the center hole diameter is too small to fit on it.

Didn't move as much air as it looks like it would. Ended up going with a factory Chrysler flex fan. But I think this fan would be fine on a stock engine. Mine is not stock.

We race Street stock cars on dirt and go through fans all the time due to the dirt sand blasting them. This fan works as good as the $200 fans and last just as log. No running hot problems with this guy!

Used because there was not enough room for a declutching fan. Light fan works good on 1 belt systems to eliminate squeal that can happen with heavier fans.
