well a 4.5 litre v8 at 7000rpm needs about 1112.4 cfm and if you can find an 80mm electric fan that can pass that (well above that to create positive presure) I would be impressed, infact it will chike the crap out of the intake with the center motor and would lose you large amounts of airflow and power.

I wish people would wise up to this and put their rear seats down like the everyone else!

That may indeed be the case but I'll wager this ability is nothing to do with tiny electric fans...

Long story but discussing the need to find an extra 20BHP after a recent power run to achieve the magical 400 figure but would need to wait due to costs etc. A mate who has recently re-visited his youth with the help of his 18yr old son and his Saxo (you can see where we're going with this now rolleyes ) sent me the afore mentioned link and I said bcensoredks, he didn't believe me but I said I know a group of more sensible people who would say the same hence the post
