 In my testing, horsepower change was negligible, and brake specific fuel consumption was nearly constant, so economy was relatively unaffected.

 I have a bugeye with a 1275.  Installed an aluminum radiator and electric fan with an adjustable thermostat.  It was running about 190 degrees before the fan turned on.  I just turned the thermostat back slightly to about 170 degrees. Where would this engine be most happy? John F.
