I stand by my statement. Fans consume at least 5% of the engine horsepower, and that's a conservative estimate.

As for drag racers, they are looking for every last ounce of HP they can get. If they can spin the pump with an electric motor when not running down the strip, and turn it off when running the 1/4 mile, then that might make the difference between losing and wining. Look at the dinky little electric motor they use to turn that pump with, and then try and tell me that a water pump takes more HP than a fan.
