    Congratulations on the swap. Couple of suggestions though. First, run the intake air duct out to ambient air. The motor is taking in air that has been through the radiator.....read HOT. For each 10* drop in air temperature, the motor will pick up 1% power, so if you drop 100*, you pick up 10%. Other thing is, think about a shroud around the fan.

    Those are actually both in work. I'm still deciding on a good spot where I could put the filter though and then I need to make shroud
