In town, my AirGap runs pretty much the same temp as everything else under the hood;afterall, it's an oven under there. And the 7-blade fan is plowing air at 207*F straight back, under, thru, and around that AG ...... displacing the air there that could be a heckuva lot hotter, that is coming off the TTIs, and maybe off the Eddies too; afterall hot air rises.
But if I get on the gas long enough...... with that crappy 87E10 that everybody loves to hate....lol, things get a little better. I mean afterall, it is advertised to be 10% alcohol....
But hey, it's only crappy if yur stuck with iron heads.
Yaknow, every body pays so much attention to the horsepower it takes to spin a 7-blade fan to shift-rpm, but they completely overlook what to do with all that relatively cool moving air you paid gasmoney to be pumping all thru your engine compartment, pushing the hotter air out.
Any streeter with over 275hp already has more power than the stock chassis can handle. So what if your fan costs you a couple of ponies; most street guys are probably loosing more power in the tune, than what a 7-blader on a T-clutch might possibly squander. Well maybe not most, I can't say for sure,lol. I do know my combo is fat, and is staying fat, and it still went 93 in the Eighth, shifting at 7000..... on a 230* cam,lol.
Maybe my fan supercharged it,lol
