408 still overheating :/

If you can get the fan close enough to the radiator, you don't need or want a shroud. Some shrouds can cause air to stop getting past the fan at higher road speeds.

I don't run a shroud. I don't need a shroud. I cruise at 175 and go 180 at stop lights on 103 degree days.

Not a fan of electric fans either.

Only pulling air through 1/2 the radiator is enough? I wouldn't think so on an engine with much more power. But, to each their own. I don't think this gentlemans setup would cool my engine, or his 408.

IMO, I would put the fan on the front if you can run it as a pusher and put the mech fan back on with a shroud. Mech fan moves a lot more air than the electric fan shown. you're also trying to cool down engine components as well, not just remove heat from the radiator.
