Only to your wallet, ie uses more fuel, no doubt you've already discovered just how much power the viscous fan sucks!!
Had one jam on my pinto sierra, did sound nice, but took a serious hit on performance.

Will sound like a jet engine, kill what little economy it had and sap any power it might have made
