over heating

16 inch on the outside (electric pusher, not so good) no shroud. Hoping to change all this to dual fans with shroud inside soon

That's your problem.

A thermostat change won't do any good. You are running 220. At 220 every thermostat out there will be open, if it's not, it's bad.

The #1 problem with cooling systems is that people building bad cooling systems.
