IMHO it will be more of a restriction than a help. What's the rest of your cooling setup?

Since you're in Hawaii, you should be able to get away with 100% distilled water and the right amount of Water Wetter, which should help lower temps ~20-25 degrees if you are running the factory coolant ratio now.

I assume you are running no a/c right? Or are u talking about mounting the fan on the a/c condensor or in between the a/c condensor and radiator? I am missing something here.

Its not going to work very well. The hole you cut in your shroud is causing the existing fan to pull air through it, and not through the radiator like it should. If I'm understanding you, you wanted to put the 9" fan next to the ATI fan like many others have done, but you cut the hole for it too low and it hits the blower, right? The best solution is to just make another shroud out of aluminum like the ATI shroud. Its flat and should be really easy to duplicate. Either that or make a patch panel and mount the fan where it needs to be. FWIW, I tried what you are attempting and even used a bigger fan (14") and it didn't work for ****.
