Guy's, I think that that kind of draw is normal.These motors are running pretty decent cams and as such don't make much torque at idle. The fans that everyone seems to run today also draw a lot....wow..earthquake right now.. . The best would be to increase your idle speed ..to compensate for the cam..not the fan. or the alternator. My motor drops 200 rpm when the fans turn on,and it has never worried me.You could probably find one of those devices from the 70...called an "idle-up" control which just opens a solenoid that lets a little air into the intake to increase idle..very simple..one wire
