Fan shroud questions.

Maybe I'm a little dense, but I can't picture what you mean by "DO Not make the shroud flat-it needs to be off of the radiator and flow to the fan." Do you mean not to mount the shroud flat against the Radiator? I always thought it was best to mount the shroud flat against the Radiator to keep air from leaking past the shroud and to force all the air through the radiator.
yes, u should fit it against the rad., but make it like a box so to speak, where air will flow thru the whole rad. core, not just in front of the fan opening.
