Brian,

So how does the shrouding help if you're stuck in light after light? I'm amazed that your obviously "hot" engine doesn't overheat in traffic. Mine isn't extensively modified but still overheats, just like the author of this thread. Mine is a 390 with two 11" SPAL puller fans. Granted, mine isn't shrouded either but there must be more to this than just that. I've also tried water wetter; no help.

Sorry to piggyback on this thread but it sounds like we have the same problem and I find it hard to believe that just shrouding will fix it since city driving is what makes it worse where there's little air movement other than what the fans generate.

Thanks for any help you can offer both of us.

Paul
