I'm gonna throw on the Koyo, and I plan to use the clutch fan for the moment until I get the FAL220. Should I still use the fan shroud or is it pretty useless?

The shroud helps direct the air so using it is a good idea.

Plus, it looks cleaner using the shroud anyway.

Use the Shroud, otherwise the fan is pretty much useless. Save your money and buy some Altima Fans. Frsport carries them new.

Nice comparison test, I'll have to finish reading it when I have an extra hour or two...but seriously, I think I will go for the Altima fans and just get rid of the clutch fan and shroud altogether.
