<VV> Air vs Water HP

I think we may need to dig deeper here. The Austin fan doesn't make much  
pressure compared to the Corvair fan, so there's something else going on here  
that we're missing. I am CERTAIN you can't just stick an Austin fan in a  
vertical housing and get cooling as good as a Corvair fan. Not even close.

I'm not  talking about autocross... I though that road racers used them as 
well! You  can pretty much run autocross with no fan... but racing is another

greater cooling needs than street use. No experience myself, just what  I've 
seen.

As I recall,  the Austin fan is good for cooling down between runs, but is 
WHOLLY inadequate  for much of anything else. The 
racers use it because it doesn't suck so  much power DURING the run, but has 
JUST enough to cool it down while idling.
