Would a shroud make a HUGE difference? Am I going to need a new rad/heatercore? What would you suggest as highest performance available?
Your water/CPU temps shouldn't have changed dramatically, from a new pump: you still have a cooling problem.

A shroud won'y make a significant difference.

Maybe you could tell us which model fan you're using?

BTW, if you've read Bill Adam's radiator roundup article, you should have noticed the airflow graphs: if you can get a fan to create a pressure drop equivalent to 1/4 inch water, you should have plenty of cooling power.

I suspect you're using an L1A panaflo fan, which really can't get you the airflow you need.
