    Well I am going to try the water wetter first.. for $7.95 a bottle it seems worth a try. Next I will try a fan pushing more cfm, then a shroud.

    Sound about right? I need to do something, unless I am crusing at 55' she gets hot (210-220) quickly (30-35 min around town)... no traffic, just regular lights.
