No worries! I could see it being easy to forget that we don't all live in "3.4 Land." 
I'll look at both. Really appreciate your input. Seem to be the "Cooling Master" of Yotatech. I'll keep you posted.

Visual checked, no collapsing. Got the new radiator, no change, other than I noticed when the fan kicks in it takes less time to cool/cycle off than before. I'm interpreting that as it being more efficient.
Next step: swallow my pride and pull the e-fan. Back to the stock clutch fan/shroud combo.
Verdict: pending, as it has been unusually cool here, haven't had the chance to push it. What I can say is WOW! I bought the thing barely running, so I rebuilt it before spending a full hour behind the wheel. Never really had the experience with the clutch fan. THIS THING MOVES SOME AIR!! I thought my +2000cfm e-fan was powerful...
Looking forward to testing it in the foothills this weekend when it gets back to 100+ deg here. I'll definitely post.
One point of redemption: I was right about the parasitic drag. I really feel the clutch fan when it kicks in, but I'll take that over heating up any day.
