So you ran it with the stock fan before and it ran cooler? If so, I'm getting one. Those look pretty damn cool.

Yeah cause its actually bigger than the factory I think and it causes the water pump to turn slower...something like that

Yea, I just figured if the water pump was turning slower it would pump less water.

It does turn slower It prevents cavatiation, When you are cruiseing at highway speeds or faster the pump perpeller will create a pocket and the water will flow right past it causeing the motor to get hot.
