I'm thinking it may have to do more with your shroud/fan setup that may actually be hindering air flow at higher speeds. Hope this helps.
You bring up good points. I was guessing that my low ac temps were an indication of sufficient air flow at idle. I will install the original mechanical fan and shroud as a test.

thanks.
