What are the real numbers say for 2000, 3000, and 4000 engine rpm ? Anyone
know ? Would be interested since it only took 15 hp (air drag and rolling
resistance) to move a '73 full-size Chevrolet down the road at 60 mph. If
it takes that much to turn the fan then you would be burning almost as
much gas and generating as much heat to turn the fan as to run the car
which is a poor trade.
So if anyone has some air flow vs rpm vs hp required figures for a Corvair
fan, I would really like to see them.
