fan shroud
How many guys use a fan shroud with an electric fan>? If so, have you tried it before and after?
My fan is right against the rad and I would have to space it back a bit to bit any type of conical shroud on
thanks

I have done both and will not run without a shroud again. We have aluminum radiators in all of our cars and I made aluminum sheet metal shrouds specific to each one. There is a significant difference in the amount of air moved over all of the radiator when you use a shroud not just the smaller area covered by the fan. When the car is moving it is not such a difference but at low speeds and between rounds it is much better.

I think the only problem with the toggle is that you may forget to shut it off or else you have to stay by it for it to cool down enought to shut off
Could be a PITA if this is a street car, to have to wait around
Maybe the sensor you have is not working properly anymore..??
