Your not bursting my bubble, because your statement is opinion not fact.
Its called science, when you pull,turn something through air it creates resistance. When a clutch fan engages it creates a drag. 2hp or 20hp dont know! Does not mean an engine is junk, maybe its just not a noticable loss to you.
Your more than welcome to come down to Crestview and run your Bird against my 68 well, junk as you put it at the local dragway. I am curious as to who would win, my hot junk or your cool shrouded fan 400. Even run for a little cash. Put some money where your mouth is, get it?
