i think it helps the fan pull the air trough the radiator more quickly, i think its a must, i would put it on, i think they run hot w/out shrouds

FYI you need a shroud on ANY fan, electric or not, for it to operate efficiently

Especially at idle and very low speeds. Otherwise the fan pulls air around the radiator, rather than just through it, and you don't cool as well
