so what is the verdict?

As i am using the RCM UNIVERSAL motor/diff mount i can not mount my own fan in anyway unless i use the castle shroud.

I honestly thought the shroud would do more harm than good, but looks as if goodresults have been found. Is it worth using it but doing some air flow modifications and upgrading to a more powerful fan?

Thanks

Yes it's worth using, but I do recommend opening the bottom of the shroud between the ziptie tracks a bit to increase air flow across the motor and not by a huge amount but to where you have about 3/16 clearance off the motor. As for the fan the original didn't make it trough one race and none like to be ran on their side, so keep the fan as flat as possible.
This is a pic of the blower in my old D8, I think you can see about how much I removed from the bottom of the shroud.
