If you take the smog, ac and switch to an electric fan you will notice a difference. when i put my underdrives and switched to my electric fan i noticed a difference and im sure if you do th ac and smog it would be even better

I will just mention that an electric fan is nice, but the stock alternator wont put out enough amps to keep your battery up, so look at upgrading the stock alternator. Most people need to anyway.

Any preference or advantages of the flex-a-lite or the pro form?

I don't know much about either one.

I've got the flexalite black magic extreme. It works really well and is easy to hook up/install.
