May have answered my own question. This from one of the hot rod sites:

"The fan ideally should fit one half of the pitch depth of the blade into the shroud opening. If it is too far rearward out of the shroud air will be pulled from around the blade tips. Being too deep into the shroud can cause turbulence affecting airflow."

Thanks for clarifying the fan, fan shroud placement dilemma. I'll shorten my shroud to cover 50% of the fan blades and see how it works. Thanks Jerry
