1) Why would you think faster "rate of flow" will improve cooling? - it may in some cars but I have not found this to be an issue in B21Fti's. Actually with some cooling systems, slowing the rate of water flow allows the coolant to take on the heat and transfer it to the radiator more efficiently.

2) Doesn't that smaller pulley take a tad more power to turn, so there should be a small HP loss - perhaps this loss is cancelled by the electric fan? I dunno.

3) You used the AC pusher fan wiring for your primary. Hmmm I don't remember but that thermostat seems really high temp. to use as a primary circuit. Does it work? Does it come on when you stop after normal drive on a not too cold day?

4) If your car overheats while moving, maybe it isn't the fan that is the culprit.
