Shroud for sure. I had 1 fan just connected to radiator by itself. It work ok. Built aluminum shroud and the cool down time was nearly half as much time sitting in the pit.

Fan with a shroud. We put a Dorman brand for a Chevy HHR ON OUR 69 Chevelle sbc bracket car. Stock radiator and it fits perfect. Car just does not get hot. 10.8X car and we can literally loop the track for 3 passes and it doesn’t get. Meziere water pump too. The fan was under $70 delivered and was an easy install too.

I dont have a shroud on my radiator and fan. The fan is mounted to the radiator in front of the radiator pushing the air. I typically dont turn the fan on until I am on the return road from the run. No need to run the fan while going down the track. I get the car cool between runs. Temp is usually about 120 degrees at the burn out. 160 after the run.

Damn, you run your car cold! I like to head for the water box at 160F.

Cool engine but I keep the oil warm with a pan heater between rounds.
