So I pulled the pin and orderd an ATI Underdrive pulley from Moe's yesterday. I was thinking that since I was going through the time of installing the underdrive pulley, I should do the efan mod as well to free up some more ponies. I have a 2014 RCSB Hemi, so I know I can retain the stock a/c condenser fan, and simply change the temp settings to complement the my 180* t-stat.

While I was doing some research on efans, I came across a post on here where a member did a similar mod on a 08 Hemi Ram, but he installed a switch so he can manually turn off his efan after his burnout. He was thinking that the extra load put on the alternator by the efan would basically eat up any gains he would have made by removing the clutch fan in the first place.

So my question is, did anybody put a fan switch on 14+ Ram with the stock A/C condenser fan, and if so, was there any performance improvement? Thanks!!

Ask Sean to take care of this for you in your race tune. He will know what you are talking about ;)

Thanks Matt, that's easy enough! I'll tell you one thing, I've never seen two people that take care of their customers like you and Sean do. Thanks so much for the support. I can't wait for all this snow to melt so I can hit the track again!!

Matt, are the HF tunes locked to prevent changes like the fan temperature cut in?

You can change the fan temps yourself if you would like. After you select your tune on the tuner, the next screen will ask if you want to modify or install the tune. Simply click modify, and you can change any of the parameters listed.

I woudnt touch anything having to do with fuel or spark, but its OK if you want to play with the fan settings, tire size, MDS, shift points, or rev rev limiter.

Thanks Matt, I did not try to change anything with HF tunes only the canned tunes.
Was thinking maybe HF custom tunes could be locked somehow to protect them.
