Yea, you definitely will notice. I think the fans add about 2-3 to the wheels (from what I have read elsewhere) and the pulleys add about the same (also read that somewhere).

I'm sure someone else will chime in with a more definite number scheme for you.

I've always read posts saying the electric fans are a great mod.

dd88- Thanks, yeah the guys I'm ordering everything from said I would notice a difference right away. They said I'd be looking at 10-15hp gain total...

Yeah I've heard they are a great mod also, just didn't know if i wanted to pull the trigger and have it done. But now I am getting ancy cuz I haven't done anything to much truck in a while, so i figured why not....

GreenMachine do not put on the UD pulleys if you are going with a supercharger, I had mine on with grreat results and I was going turbo when I bought them but when I put the supercharger on I had to remove them...

peak gains will only be few Hp and TQ but the overall power curve will be improved with the E-fans

So its ok to use them with a turbo? It will be awhile before I do that so even if the udp won't work with it, i can use them until then, ya know....

yeah they will work with a turbo, and YES you can use them until you upgrade, which is exactly what I did then when you are done with the pulleys you can pass them on to another lucky individual
