I think this guy is having the opposite problem that nearly all of us have with the under-radiated 60s cars. Unless I am reading it wrong its not really an apt comparison.

I also never have to stop to cool down....I have to start moving to cool down. Its the stopping that's the problem. And that's where an electric fan would benefit me. I don't think anyone would make the argument that a big mechanical fan wont move more air under RPM, including racing like you said. The problem is getting stuck in traffic, or a drive-through etc. I need more air at idle.

My car is pretty well sorted out, Cold Case, big 19" clutch fan with a modded clutch to engage faster (I could probably bend it a little more even). And its fine, but it creeps enough at idle that the thought of getting stuck in a bad traffic jam scares me. And its hard to keep temp down in the staging lanes unless.

Plus I have the Terminator installed and Im not making use of its fan controls, which activates my personal flavor of autism and annoys me. Ive just always had something more important to spend money and time on than moving this one to electric.
