What's the difference between runs? That should give you a clue.

Default How long did the dyno run last?
I'd say for the first 2-3 seconds of the run it wouldn't make a big difference, and then it could possibly rob you of 25% or more of your power (depending on ambient temps, octane and software sensitivity to temperature changes).

Default We only had a little fan for one of our IC's and a big fan like that for the radiator at Harman's
dyno day. They were use to STI front mounts...what can you do?
