If the shroud does anything at all is a pretty good question. Some say yes and some say no. If you're overheating, I would guess that something else is the cause besides the shroud. I, myself, put in a dual 11" SPAL fan setup. I can't say enough good things about this thing, and it does have it's own integrated shroud design. I just took off the upper shroud and am using a steel strap to hold the radiator in place.

If the fan is real close to the radiator, you probably don't need a shroud--like an electric fan.
