The shroud does make a difference. But whether you'll notice it or not depends on your climate. If you live in AZ or similar then yes, you absolutely need it.

Any way to cut into the shroud to clear the water pump and pulley without fan blade interference? You have to anyway for a stock radiator when using an e-water pump. The shroud will move much more CFM through the radiator.
