I wouldn't cut it until removing it proved it beneficial to cooling at cruise speeds.
I agree with the pumps working, I think my flow is fine.

As far as the shroud goes, the fan and shroud were designed together so we're not exactly sure how the fan will work without the shroud.
I figured I'll try cutting first because the shroud at this point is not returnable anyway. Let's see what happens
