I know EXACTLY how that goes! 
So did you get rid of the ATI shroud and just mount the fan to the radiator? If so, did it help? I was going to when I put the second fan on mine but chickened out because no one had done it before.

Here is a vid of it running with the F1A, may take a few minutes for it to work.

I'm kind of bored with the whole thing right now to be honest, this time of the year my enthusiasm tends to dwindle a little - fighting off the 'selling the whole mess and buying a C6 Z06' syndrome
