    Rod, I would suggest that you get the shroud installed and then take the electric fan off to give you free air flow through the radiator. A pusher fan out front is going to block air flow and with a shroud you won't need it. Having the temp go up when you shut down is normal, as you've stopped coolant flow, and all of the residual heat in the block is going into the coolant in the block. If you start the engine when it's reading 230F you'll see the temp fall very quickly as you re-mix the coolant in the block & radiator.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
