Definitely try a shroud. It made enough difference for me that I can get away with the low water pump in a A.D. application. I bent some cardboard into the shape I needed and then copied the bends onto 2 pc's of steel stock. After I bolted the halves to the rad I welded them together for a perfect fit. Heres a pic of the shroud:
