I'm not sure if blades are too far from rad due to stripping or if controller isn't giving fan full amps. Anyway, any info appreciated. Thanks

As we talked about before, I don't think you're getting full voltage from that controller. Not knowing the specific wiring, why don't you run a temporary #8 copper wire from the alternator's output to a the fan's motor leads that are downstream from your DC controller. When the engines fully hot and the fan's pumping as much air as it can simply bypass the DC controller and put a full 13.xx/14.xx volts directly to the high speed on the fan motor. If it picks up and moves more air you've discoverd your problem. Have you actually measure operating volts at the fan while it was running at max? Just curious ... You can stick a small push-pin/needle thru the hi speed hot wire and measure your voltage from there.
