Are you talking about the fan for the radiator, or what people are calling fanblades for wheels. That's a wheel option on the GT's. They are 18"

I think he's referring to the wheel? But then he refers to cooling? I doubt you'd get any significant performance gains by switching to a larger cooling fan on a stock application.

I have the Fanblades and I love them. No HP advantage, but probably a bit of a handeling improvment with the 18" wheels.

I don't see how a 18" fan is going to give you more HP..

he is talking about wheels because what in the hell on our car has an 18" diameter other than that? pulleys?

i do have the fanblades but i don't understand how that correlates to HP unless you get wheels that weigh less that will take less of a strain off of the engine to try to turn them.

He can not be talking about the wheels because he heard the term 18" fan blades and thought they were talking about the Fan at the radiator. Why else would he ask if theres a HP and cooling difference? Why else would he say tell me the info on this because hes new to mods? Why else does he say what kind of fan blade does a 4.0 have?

the answer to everything you are asking is very simple....he's completely confused. he brings up the fanblades first and somehow melds cooling for the motor into it. he's confused which has some of you confused.

again, he brings up 2 SPECIFIC things relating to wheels. 18" and fan blades. find me a part on our cars besides the wheels that has both of those attributes and i'll send you $50 via paypal.

however, i do see what you are saying. he just needs to un-pretzelize himself.

Exactly, hes confused. Which is what I am saying. Someone mentioned fan blades to him or he read it somewhere and does not know they are referring to wheels. You do realize there is a fan at the radiator right? Which is why he is saying cooling and HP change. he thinks theres a fan upgrade to 18". So if he comes in and says Im right your going to send me $50. I just noticed you edited the post. lol
