The shroud is the key.
The flex fan is better at cooling than a factory fan but doesnt stop cooling!

Hey everyone, sorry I'm just getting back on the forum here.
Got a bit side tracked with school.

Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the wonderful compliments. I'm glad you guys like the car! Thank you for the support. I'm hoping to have the car painted some time in the near future, either the same tan or possibly white? (Suggestions?)
Thank you again!
Long live the Vette!
