Flat aluminum or fiberglass??
Nope..not at all.I get 190's and 200 to 205..
That is with a Front mount intercooler and a aftermarket front bumper.

You will find some shroud threads,One guy made a fiberglass one.
IF you can find a SNEED SPEED SHOP fan,then just look at it and get an idea of the aluminum shrouding that they used on their setup.

(btw,Merc fan I got for 60 bucks.I know..you don't wanna hear that!


BUT..you can sell you Black magic for more than that..!!)

To be clear.....I wasn't recommending AI as a substitute for an effective fan/shroud. But given your stated use of the car I think it would be wortwhile.
