cooling issue

ok well i tried swapping m stock clutch powered fan for a big(16") electric, wired it up, relay and all, worked fine....except it overheated with the elec. fan, i tried placing the shroud back on, didnt help, so ive gone back to the clutch powered one and it works fine.

what is up? any ideas?

Link does nothing..Get a BELLY pan..the engine will thank you for it.It Directs air to the Engine,and Keeps the flow going to th engine instead of out the Fan,hit the Engine and Go Out and Under the car..the Belly pan can alone,reduce your Temps by twenty degrees.,and it keeps Rocks and **** off and out of the engine Compartment.You do want to have a cleaner looking engine Don't you?.,.Cheers.STYX.
