Help Me Cool Down

Why aren't you a fan of shrouds???

Fan shrouds are very important for proper engine cooling...

OEM manufacturers spend hours to tune in fan shrouds and seal them to the radiator for maximum cooling...

A properly designed shroud will help pull and direct air through the radiator for maximum cooling...

The shroud becomes less important the closer the fan is to the radiator. Mine is close enough I don't need the shroud. If the fan will cool the engine at idle and low speeds without a shroud you are better off without it. As road speed goes up, the shroud becomes a restriction.
