Is The Intercooler Fan Important

[BradWE4]

I just received my overdrive pulley and got it on the car I went to start it to find out that the intercooler fan hits the new pulley. Before I go and pull the fan I wanted to get some feedback. How much air does it actually pull through the intercooler?

Its probably going to pull a hell of a lot more air with than without.

How bout a small electric fan??

That's what I did to mine. My scoupe is shot so I decided to grab an 8" electric fan reversed the fan blade to push instead of pull and when I tested it I felt a whole bunch of air coming through the fins. I haven't had a real world test, I'm waiting on a rebuild. Hopefully before it starts snowing she'll be back and I can get a few runs in.

Now just wondering if I should go with a good set od rods or will the armasteels be good for low 11's with some durability.
