If you hook them up right!!! Kidding, ya, they are noticed believe it or not, pretty slight but you will notice them. I picked up a few, like 2 at most mpg's and I'll bet 10 rwhp, it did feel more powerful. Not a placibo mod

Worked Well For Me
I put efans on my 5.4 a couple years ago. Made my own kit as i am a cheap !$#!@. I definatly noticed a power increase and fuel economy. Comes in handy already having the fans for my engine swap comming up this weekend.

I had one on my 02 and loved it...I loved it so much I took it off and put it in my garage when I turned in my 02 and leased my 05. I have since decided to buy my 05 and as soon as I figure out how to mount it I will have it on this one also

yeh ur fan isnt moving enough air to cool it down. i need about 10cfm for every 1 hp to cool it down so if ur like 300hp then u need atleast 3000cfm fan to cool it.

Do they work? Sure, if they're put in properly and have a decent controller.
Just don't get a kit that uses the stupid "poke-thru" method where you have to cram rods through the radiator fins to hold the fans. 90% of the time the radiator will bust within a year or two.

How was the install on that kit? I am looking to put my e-fan on my 05 but am having trouble finding a way to mount it? How did you mount that?
