the fan shroud helps at low speeds,also the clucth fan could be failing,also a quick check,pull the water pump,stick the old finger in the water pump passage,and feel if the head gasket is there to stop your finger.if your finger makes it past the head area,got some problems,also i have found bad radiator caps,boils waters at lower temps,and i did boil my 390 in my 4wd pick up.when i was running soft sand,and higer altitudes,canyonlands of utah,no shroud,weak cap,good thing i had 5 gallons of water,i have freinds that swear by electic fans,some have the water jacket sensor,some in radiator fin,2 schools of thougt there,both say it works,at low speeds,no more increaing engine speeds to cool it down
