Friend of mine has an electric running on the stock alt. Once in a while he gets charging issues but he loves it. If you get an electric make sure you upgrade your alternator with it. Get a 130 or so.

Oh, some guy with a GREAT lookin' 5.0 notch (i think he lives in Alaska) said he got like a 25hp gain from it dynod, but he thinks his clutch was stuck... I think mine is too... POS

I've had charging issues out of mine. I had a system in there but had to remove it when i put the fan in, but i still have the stock alternator. I didn't feel any difference in the power department when i put it on. I think its only supposed to be like 5 HP so you aren't gonna feel that anyways.

When it comes to fans I dont think u should be worried about gaining any horsepower. As far as cooling ur engine bay, it would be a great choice. I have an electric fan and wired it direct so that when the ignition is on, the fan kicks on. I never see my temp gauge go over the second bar

The people who tuned my car said the theres no need really for eltric the clutch fan works just fine. Might free up couple hps but nothing noticable.
