Electric Radiator Fan ???

Has anyone out there tried switching from their stock clutch fan to a electric setup? My 460 pulls real good until the fan kicks in and it's like dropping a gear.
I think that the fan must use around 15 or 20 horsepower plus a bunch of gas.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for that thread. Sounds like it could be risky business for my application.
Sure wouldn't want to find out that it was inadaquate half way up the hill with my 5th wheel in the middle of summer! I lose about 5 mph. when the fan kicks in but I don't have to sweat it not cooling.
