Ditto here. The only thing I really noticed is the ability to get heat rolling quicker when it's cold outside. MPG might have increased slightly but I never checked it; if it did it wasn't enough for me to notice without a calculator.

my fan relay went out and overheated the engine, great improvement huh. I should have left it stock

The mechanical one only "pulls" air when its needed, then it drags on the engine.
When a electrical fan comes on it, it creates drag on the engine too
