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

The Taurus fan is flat against the back of the radiator. Its still temporarily mounted using 4 flat aluminum tabs bolted through the top and bottom radiator crossbraces, which is how Hurricane mounted the original fan. I agree with Dave that your issue is probably that controller. I am using the Hollister Road relay harness, taking 12V+ directly from the starter lug and sufficient amperage is not an issue.
As I have said before, I don't think the solution to my problem was so much cfm airflow as the shroud helping to cool the entire surface of the radiator. Before the Taurus fan I had hot spots in the outer corners on the face of the radiator over 210*F. They are much smaller and only around 200F now. And in the area inside where the shroud perimeter is, my front face temps are 160-185F.
