Going from flex fan to dual electric fans (non - thirdgen)

Has anybody swapped out a flex fan for dual electrics and noticed a substantial change? I'm not asking about cooling alone but also about any gain in horsepower from removing the parasitic drag of a flex fan.

thanks

fans

I went from the stock mechanical fan to a single electric. I really didn't notice a power increase, although everyone says you gain 5-10hp by going with the electric.

I went from the engine driven fan to dual electric 16" fans on my truck. Honestly, I can not tell the difference. But I think any gain from rotational drag loss will be negated by the increased load on the charging system.
