Post your findings back here. I expect this thread might be of value to future overheaters like us.

I had a JEGS aluminum shroud we tried but it was too shallow, didn't have highway vents/flaps so it didn't work. Once I am done experimenting with pulleys for water flow and using the shop fan to increase airflow at idle, I will be going with a shrouded fan next and a radiator swap last.

I have three new Stant radiator caps I have tried in varying pressures, no effect on the overall issue. Currently I am running a 16 lb. cap.
