Switching from Villager to Taurus efan

Possibly you are all describing a portion of the problem.
I didn't have the issue prior to the efan-possibly because, as Rob XX 7 pointed out..the efan shroud is more restrictive than the stock shroud. Means at highway speeds, the stock shroud will naturally flow more air--prob why there wasn't an issue prior to changing the fan.
That being said, last summer (when I installed the bigger fmic) I was running the stock temp gauge, so I could have been running somewhat higher temps than previous when I was running a smaller fmic-which was then exacerbated by the new restrictive shroud. Either way, that big fmic is a major restriction and the ductwork you guys mentioned def needs to be done.
Going to:
1. Source a Taurus fan or if I can't find one, try to make the current shroud less restrictive.
2. Figure out how to duct some fresh air to the rad after the IC.
If I can get both of the above done, I think I sb good. My digital temp gauge will let me know what's working and what isn't.
