[QUOTE="mcglsr2, post: 1319165, member: 15705"] Alright, did some reading, some research, and some thinking. I will be using a fan shroud. I understand that it might somewhat limit the air coming through at highway speeds, but on a track the car will not always be seeing highway speeds. It spends a lot of time in corners (depending on the track of course). A fan with fan shroud will help tremendously at lower speeds while not really hurting that much at higher speeds. The car won't be at higher speeds enough to fully cool things while it is transition through and accelerating out of corners. A fan is better than no fan at all, but a fan with a shroud is better than a fan with no shroud. This is all based on a puller setup. A pusher set up is different - a fan shroud should NOT be used on a pusher setup. With a puller, it should, and I shall. [/QUOTE]
