i know that with the stock fan cooling is decreased without it, since the air movement from the fan is not centered on the radiator... but im not sure if its differnet with an electric fan... dont most electric fans come with their own shroud anyways?

im gonna have to go electri very soon then, i've only been hearing good things... the only thing that has been holding me back is the wiring. How difficult is it and what must be done to wire the right way?

No shroud with an electric fan. Every electric fan I've seen has a shroud built in.
