Default E fan set up

Hey guys I got my dual E fan set up for my truck from J415 yesterday!
I want to know if its better to leave the shroud on with the E fans or keep it off? Not really sure if leaving it on would help pulling the air into one spot, or if its off if it will just blow the air everywhere. I want the truck to run cool but at the same time I want more room!

only good thing about shroud is that you get to keep coolant and washer bottle

I could just zip tie them to the core support right

I am also installing dual fans this weekend. I sure could use some help with what circuits to wire everything to. I am going to experiment on cutting up the shroud to hold the overflow bottle. I will post pics if it works out.

most people just cut up shroud anyways, that would be a lot of weight then on the radiator if you are zip tying everything to it as it isnt designed to hold all that weight
