Default Car runs to hot!

So my car runs hot, only at higher speeds. It was 90 degrees today and i had to have my heat on full blast and stay below 70, even then the car ran very warm. It has a half size rad and a 12" puller fan on it right now, and it is wired correctly. I know the reason why it is overheating is because air is getting past the rad (planning on adding some shrouding soon). I was curious if i add another fan as a pusher on the front, will this help cooling or not since i already have a puller on the back?

Add shroud first then take it from there.

Don't do that. Don't try and fix a problem by not addressing the reason that you already feel is responsible for your problem. That just doesn't make sense.
