Why would an electric fan be any different than the mechanical fan in needing the duct for optimum efficiency? Even if the electric is a pusher, you would still need the duct to keep from pulling hot engine bay air around the edges of the radiator and pushing it back through. Not to mention the lost efficiency of the pusher over the puller.

I don't know. Just wondering. The only experience I had running w/o the shroud was for a couple of months one Spring. The temperature seems normal enough when I was underway, but when I slowed down or idled the reading rose.
So it just got me to thinking when this subject came up if a thermostatically controlled electric fan would kick on in this situation and keep a relativly normal coolant temperature.
I can tell you this, a 14 or 16" electric fan pulls a heck of a lot more air THRU the radiator at certain speeds than the red fan, shroud or not.
