Hey Keith, glad you joined in, hadn't really intended to bring this thread back but here we are. In my case it would be very difficult to hook up to any dyno since I no longer own any of these machines, nor the components. The housing I used had 0.002" clearance between the OD of the blades and it's ID. There was always a stumble at initial acceleration, this was not the case if I powered up the fan then hit the throttle, so I have no doubt that something had changed. Also the measured distance from standstill to max rpm was shortened by some feet. We did 20 repetitions each with and without the fan being powered both sets of results were fairly consistent, I was surprised at that! Honestly I was quite skeptical of this whole thing when the guy who told me about it was actually doing it on an S-10 of all things and swore he could feel a difference, he had also tried on of the whirlygig things and said it was bs and that is what gave him the idea. I changed my mind when I immediately noticed the stumble was gone. We did timed tests and took all sorts of notes, and as I said they are probably still here, if they didn't get tossed like a lot of other stuff when I moved into the new shop. As I said I'm not going to bother looking for it, as I don't see where it will be of any benefit on my current project.
