I have always had air flow issues with that type of shroud. As designed you a reducing through radiator air flow by at least 50% with the single fan. Add a trans cooler and AC condensor and it's going to be tough to keep the engine cool.
If you look at high end shrouds they have a number of rubber flaps to increase air flow at speed. Sitting still your fan should be running at temp.
