Also, as  several people have stated, the fins should be cleaned up to   
minimise the obstruction to air flow; this probably lowers the HP  
requirements  of a 
stock fan also.


No, sorry, Scotty!
 
Deflashing and minimizing the obstruction to air flow RAISES the horsepower  
the fan requires. Look at the hp/flow data in the SAE 140C report for  details.
