Default Electric fans, fuel pump?

Is it worth it to get electric fans/electric fuel pump on a 2001 camaro LS1 to maximize HP?
Does it already have electric equipment?
If so, is it worth buying a fan control switch?
Thanks

If you look closely, you will realize that the car is equipped with electric fans and fuel pump. A fan switch will not add power or be of any useful purpose if the fans are comong on at the proper time. Do you ever look under the hood, or even read the owners manual? lol

Hahahahah^^^ it's most likely fuel injected hence the fuel pump, if you look under the hood near the intake you will notice a fan. The fuel pump is what sends fuel through the injectors into your engine

Yeah, I saw. Just had to get a better angle... There's a wire running to the housing so I guess they are electric.

Just because LS1 is SFI doesn't necessarily mean it has an electric fuel pump.

Lol cut the guy a break. Electric fans conversion would gain you horsepower on a car that dint already have them.

Most internal combustion engines use an electric fuel pump, the only ones who wouldnt would be motorcycles they simply use gravity I believe, all fuel pumps are electric. The fans would have to be an all electric component as well...
