how big is the chamber that's in? ... what fuel are you using? and (looking at the picture) is it blowing air toward you or down the barrel?

so im guessing the fan did a much better job of atomizing and mixing the gas in the chamber

it looks as if you mounted it on the rite way with the airflow exausting out the muzzle. if you didnt then do so, trust me its better. 8)

Latke showed that a chamber fan increased [his launcher's] muzzle energy ~40%, IIRC... and that was with a fairly ideal ratio. (I expect a bigger increase with a oversized chamber.)
This was with both propane and with starting fluid.
