I bought a Flex-A-Lite puller fan with built-in shroud and it did not
work well. The car consistently overheated with the fan installed,
even if it was on 100% of the time. Didn't matter if I was doing all
freeway or mixed driving. I think the built-in shroud restricted flow.
The same car with a stock seven blade or four blade fan the car
doesn't overheat.
