I went around that circle several times and had very little success with electric fans I finally put a seven bladed conventional fan on and no more issues.

^^^ X100%

I had the same challenges and went conventional -
My 350 with the electric fan - worked fine in stop and go - when I got on the highway would get hot - found out the added speed would stop the electric fan at the highway speeds, couldn't keep up.
Switched to 7 blade conventional and never had another problem, ran cool all the time

Thanks guys, I may rethink my setup.

Much appreciated

^^^^^What he said. Problem with electric fans is they are not using the engine's horse power to create the hurricane that is necessary to blow engine heat out of the engine compartment. The coolest running Chevota I ever owned used a 7 blade "air conditioning fan" on a fan clutch, those fans have a very heavy fan blade pitch, that rig ran so cool I didn't even have to use a fan shroud.
