Lean will get it hot, but I don't think rich does so you're okay there. Just went through this myself. The shroud is essential, and the thermostat is more influential than you might think. I had a 160 degree t-stat and I kept creeping over 210 at lights, put a 180 t-stat in and it solved the problem.

Definetly would NOT do a pusher E fan. If anything that's going to restrict airflow being mounted on the front of the radiator. I could be wrong but after a lot of reading and trial and error, it seems pusher fans really benefit drag cars at the track, but for daily drivers they hinder cooling
