So many factors affect operating temperature. Air flow, water flow, radiator size, grille shape and area, type of cooling fan, etc.
All of the comments made above are right on the money. I personally like electric fans............I know a lot of people don't, mainly for cosmetic reasons, but I love having mine come on and watching the temp drop almost immediately. I just think they are more efficient. I also agree that a puller (behind radiator) is much more efficient than a pusher (mounted in front of radiator). And a shroud is very helpful.
It is really easy to make your own custom shroud. All you need to do is make up a shallow square "pizza pan" out of something like 18-20 gauge flat sheet metal, and cut a hole in the middle the size of the fan, Here is how we made one for my Son's T bucket.
